The Francis report: one year on - the response of acute trusts in England

This report explores how acute trusts are responding to the Francis Inquiry report, one year on from Robert Francis QC’s original report into the failings in Mid Staffordshire hospitals. It finds that many of the themes from the Francis Inquiry Report, including the importance of openness, adequate staffing levels and a patient-centred culture, have resonated with leaders of the hospitals responding to the survey and interviews. Four in five of the hospitals responding to the online survey said they were taking new action in response to the report, and an even greater proportion said they already had work underway on many of the relevant recommendations when the report was published.
