Norman Lamb MP Commends Norfolk and Norwich Hospital for Topping National Rankings

12.00.00am BST (GMT +0100) Wed 14th May 2008

Norman Lamb MP has praised the Norfolk and Norwich hospital for finishing atop the rankings as the best district general hospital in the country for quality of care, "This is a really impressive achievement. The N & N operates under enormous pressure because it is regularly full and so to come out top on patient satisfaction on quality of care is fantastic. It is a reflection of the high standard of clinicians and all other staff at the hospital."

Patients rate the quality of care offered by the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust as the best in the country out of all district general hospitals.

The findings come from today's Healthcare Commission national in-patient survey. The 2007 survey is compared to similar survey questions in 2006, 2005, 2004 and 2002. A total of 534 adult in-patients at NNUH were surveyed in autumn 2007 for the latest survey.

The Norfolk and Norwich comes 11th overall out of 165 trusts nationally for providing a high quality of care but the 10 trusts who performed better are all small, single-specialty trusts. The 1000-bed Norfolk and Norwich is the highest-scoring general, multi-specialty hospital in the country.
