When CQC last rated this body

CQC has not rated Barts Health NHS Trust since 12 February 2019. Its judgements from then are still on CQC’s own site and are not shown here, because a rating more than 3 years old is not what CQC currently says about a body.

Against the national standards

The measures NHS England publishes against a provider every month, each drawn against the standard set for it. The standards differ: 95% of A&E attendances within four hours, 85% of urgent cancer referrals treated within sixty-two days, 99% of diagnostic tests within six weeks. A figure read against the wrong one says nothing, so no two of these charts share a line and the three cancer standards are never added together.

Hover or use the arrow keys to read any month, with the figures the percentage was worked out from. Every chart opens as a table.
