Grading Explained: Requires Improvement

Following our inspection, CQC has issued the trust with a Section 29a warning notice.

NHS Improvement launched an investigation into Derbyshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust in 2015, in respect of governance concerns identified from the judgement of an Employment Tribunal, and concerns raised by other third parties. In February 2016, based on evidence from independent reviews commissioned by the Trust, a focussed inspection by the Care Quality Commission and an independent review of governance arrangements,NHS Improvement formally found the trust to be inbreach of its licence.
