Care Quality Commission

What CQC currently says

CQC has not given Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust an overall rating. Under its single assessment framework it rates services and key questions rather than awarding one judgement for the whole body, so these are what it currently publishes. They are separate judgements and CQC does not add them together.

Most recent judgement 19 January 2026.

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.
