Alliance confirmed as delivery vehicle for Stoke-on-Trent Improvement Plan

The North Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent Alliance has been confirmed as the delivery vehicle for the CQC Stoke-On-Trent Local System Review Improvement Plan drawn up by local health and care leaders in response to the recent Care Quality Commission Local System Review.

The CQC report published in November 2017 found that health and social care services in Stoke-On-Trent were failing older people. The CQC identified that the system has too many residential care homes, nursing care homes and social care homes that are rated as Inadequate or Requires Improvemen. You can read more about the proposals put forward in the Improvement in our previous blog post here.

Senior leaders from Stoke-on-Trent City Council, Stoke-on-Trent Clinical Commissioning Group, North Staffordshire Combined Healthcare NHS Trust (NSCHT), University Hospitals of North Midlands NHS Trust (UHNM), Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent Partnership NHS Trust (SSOTP) have committed to work together to develop the CQC Stoke-on-Trent Local System Review Improvement Plan in response to the CQC Review of Local Health and Social Care System – Stoke-On-Trent Report.
