Two-fifths of private hospitals in England fail to meet expected safety standards, according to a report by health inspectors.
The Care Quality Commission said it was particularly concerned about safety, with 41 percent of private hospitals rated as requiring improvement in this area and 1 percent as inadequate, according to an article on The Guardian website.
Of the 206 independent acute hospitals inspected, 62 percent were given a “good” rating overall and 8 percent were described as “outstanding.” However, 30 percent of private hospitals were deemed to need improvement.
Almost a third were rated as requiring improvement and 3 percent as inadequate in terms of how well they were led.
