A scandal-hit health trust is still not meeting recommendations on improvements in its accident and emergency department, a watchdog has found.

The Care Quality Commission (CQC) undertook an investigation of the delivery of emergency care services at University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust which runs the Royal Lancaster Infirmary and Furness General Hospital in Barrow, Cumbria.

A report out today following a follow up review in April this year by a team of eight CQC inspectors found of the 40 recommendations made in the original investigation, seven have been met, 30 are partly met and three remain outstanding.
