Care Quality Commission tells trust that runs Scarborough Hospital improvements are needed

During inspections at Scarborough Hospital and York Hospital in October last year, the CQC initially inspected medical care, maternity services and urgent and emergency care.

Due to concerns found in relation to maternity services at both hospitals, , as well as in urgent and emergency care at York Hospital, CQC issued a letter of intent asking the trust to make rapid improvements in maternity services at both hospitals, relating to managing people whose health was deteriorating, people who were waiting for care, as well as medicines management issues.
