Will hospital trust league tables help improve the NHS?

from The Standard

League tables of the best and worst-performing NHS trusts in England have been published by the Department of Health and Social Care for the first time. Health Secretary Wes Streeting said the tables would help inform the public and allow them to exercise choice, but critics are less certain. Sebastian Reese, Head of Health at the Institute for Public Policy Research think tank, is here to discuss the pros and cons. And in part two, as Prince Harry visits the UK, speculation mounts over whether he will reconcile with the estranged royal family, particularly King Charles. Freelance journalist Alice Cockerell has spoken to insiders and joins us with the latest. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
