Health Foundation, Nuffield Trust, October 2014
- An independent assessment of the current quality of NHS health and social care services in England through an analysis of over 200 quality indicators
- "Compared with 10 years ago, waiting times are much shorter; there have been improvements in important areas of safety (such as healthcare-associated infection); and there are more doctors and nurses. However, there are clear indications that we may be failing to hold onto these gains; the past year has seen an increasing number of signs that historic improvements in quality are not being sustained in some areas, or have even reversed."
