QualityWatch annual statement 2014
The second annual statement from QualityWatch draws on analysis of over 200 quality indicators and a series of in-depth research reports to provide an independent assessment of how patterns of quality in services are changing across a range of health and social care settings. The report observes that while overall care quality has improved since a decade ago, the last year has seen progress in some areas slow down or begin to reverse.
This annual statement is part of QualityWatch, a joint research programme from the Nuffield Trust and the Health Foundation which is tracking changes in the quality of health and social care in England.
