ROYAL CORNWALL HOSPITALS NHS TRUST

That this House notes the findings of the Healthcare Commission Report which places the Royal Cornwall Hospitals NHS Trust at the top of its most improved hospital league table; further notes that the Trust is now compliant with 35 of the 44 core standards; appreciates the sustained dedication and effort of the staff through a challenging financial and operationally changing climate; and calls on the Government to give the NHS in Cornwall the support it deserves by finally addressing the unfair funding formula that continues to put Cornish patients at a disadvantage by linking local NHS funding to the lowest private sector wages in the UK.
