Quality Accounts 2011-2012

Quality Accounts are annual reports to the public from providers of NHS healthcare services. They provide additional accountability about the quality of an organisation's services.

Welcome to our third set of Quality Accounts, which I hope you will find both interesting and informative. The Health Act 2009 requires all NHS organisations to publish annual Quality Accounts, which for the first time this year will be integrated into our Trust Annual Report. Our Quality Accounts enable readers to find easily accessible information regarding what the Trust has done well in 2011/2012, how we plan to improve, and what our priorities are for 2012/13.

If you would like to submit feedback or make suggestions for the content of future reports please contact claire.alexander@swlstg-tr.nhs.uk
