That’s according to the latest Care Quality Commission report out today.

The maternity rating has risen from inadequate to requires improvement, while surgery has dropped to requires improvement.

Two warning notices were also issued over safety and staffing.

The CQC says delays in publishing the reports are due to technical problems, but safety has not been affected.

“We’re pleased the CQC has recognised improvements in some areas, including maternity care, and that patients had positive feedback about our hardworking staff during a busy winter – but we know we need to do more.

“We’ve since made many significant changes such as doubling our Same Day Emergency Care service to reduce Emergency Department waiting times and having more staff to triage patients in maternity and will continue making improvements to provide the best care for our patients.”
