A Humber Health Partnership spokesperson said: “We are disappointed with our position in the latest NHS league tables. They highlight areas where we must do better for the communities we serve.

“We know that getting good NHS services is the most important thing to more than 1.5 million patients, carers and families in the Humber region and beyond who depend on them. It is also the most important thing to everyone who works at the Humber Health Partnership.

“That is why we are now working to strengthen and improve the services we deliver by empowering our doctors, nurses and other clinical professionals to deliver and shape the care our communities receive today and tomorrow.

“To do this, we are going to empower our experienced clinicians, through a clinically led improvement plan, to make more of the decisions about how we how we manage our resources and deliver care across our hospitals and services. This plan will focus on tackling immediate problems, strengthening services, and supporting our clinicians to deliver safe, effective and compassionate care now and for the future.

“We know that actions speak louder than words though which is why we will continue to provide updates on our progress so our patients and communities can see what we are doing and hold us to account.”
