For the first time, the public can see how every NHS trust in England stacks up, thanks to a newly launched online dashboard that ranks hospitals on patient care, medical treatments, and other key targets. In unveiling the dashboard, Health Secretary Wes Streeting revealed that the quarterly rankings presented on the league tables will determine where urgent support is necessary and help eliminate the 'postcode lottery' of care for patients.
While the data used by NHS England has always been readily available, this is the first time the information appears in a user-friendly format, making it easier for the public to understand how their local services compare across the country.
