The Care Quality Commission visited Southampton Hospital earlier this year to assess whether improvements had been made to services after a visit in 2014 stated that the trust ‘required improvements’.
The hospital’s surgery, end-of-life care, outpatients and radiology departments all scored ‘good’.
While critical care, which covers the general, neurosciences and cardiac intensive care units, surgical, respiratory and cardiac high-dependency units and the critical-care outreach team, was assessed as ‘outstanding’.
