A inspection at a hospital found parts of its A&E department "were unsuitable" for patients

Despite recognising improvements at University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust, the Care Quality Commission (CQC) has given it a requires improvement rating.

The report also said the service did not always have enough nursing staff.

The trust's chief executive officer said it is on a "journey of continuous improvement".

Some areas of the trust were given "good" ratings, with end of life care receiving an "outstanding" rating and the Hospital of St Cross in Rugby receiving a rating of "good" overall.

But inspectors said University Hospital Coventry requires improvement overall.

The CQC said urgent and emergency care and maternity at the hospital were of particular concern, as not all staff had mandatory training.

It said some areas of the emergency department were "unsuitable" for patients, adding: "The resuscitation room was too small and there was poor line of sight of patients in the major treatment area."

Chief inspector of hospitals, Professor Ted Baker, said: "We also found that records were in a poor state in the cardiothoracic critical care unit and there was not an effective system to monitor patient outcomes in the unit at University Hospital."

From my recent experience the hospital and most staff are unfit to treat patients there in the wards .

What is this another form of Pathway to Liverpool being carried out on us just exactly the same as my recent experience at Coventry University hospital yesterday.
I don't see this being carried out on the mps or super rich or the elite as they can afford the private health care where as us the normal hard working people elderly and disabled can't afford it on such poor wages. Reminds me of experiments being carried out in Hitler s time. Our NHS has gone to pot.
First and still this being done on us
