NHS hospital league tables are brought back by ministers
The UK government has reintroduced league tables to rank NHS hospitals in England from best to worst. This is the first time such tables have been published since the early 2000s. The league table places Moorfields specialist eye hospital in London at the top, while the Queen Elizabeth hospital in King's Lynn, Norfolk, is at the bottom. While the government believes these rankings will be helpful for patients, some analysts have expressed skepticism, arguing that the idea is of "limited use" to patients when choosing where to seek care. The article notes that the league tables were published by the Labour party, despite warnings that they may not effectively assist patients in making informed decisions about their healthcare.
