Countess of Chester Hospital told 'more needs to be done' after latest inspection

Health bosses at the Countess of Chester Hospital Trust have been told "more work needs to be done" after the latest inspection.

The Care Quality Commission (CQC) visited the hospital in July, a few months after a previous inspection found maternity services and leadership to be "inadequate". The trust was given an overall rating of "requires improvement" by the CQC in the same visit.

July's visit focused on both maternity services and "how well-led the trust was overall". Both areas remain "inadequate" and the overall rating for the trust stayed the same despite evidence of "some improvements" being made.
