NHS Performance

The performance of the National Health Service (NHS) is evaluated by an independent regulator called the Commission for Healthcare Audit and Inspection.

Each year a Performance (Star) Rating is awarded to each NHS Trust based on its achievements against Key Targets & Indicators. These targets and indicators are based on priorities set by central government and the Department of Health.

For more information about the NHS please visit the NHS website.
