Services for children and young people were a small proportion of hospital activity. Where arrangements were the same, we have reported findings in the Surgery section. The hospital has a nine-bed children’s unit for day case and inpatient surgical care.

We rated this service as good for safe, caring, responsive and well-led.  We inspected but did not rate effective due to insufficient evidence being available for patient outcomes.

Critical care services were a small proportion of hospital activity. Where arrangements were the same, we have reported findings in the Surgery section. The hospital has an eight-bed critical care unit providing level 2 and 3 care.

We rated this service as good for safe, caring, responsive and well-led and requires improvement for effective.

Services for outpatients and diagnostic imaging were a small proportion of hospital activity. Where arrangements were the same, we have reported findings in the Surgery section.

We rated this service as outstanding for caring and responsive and good for safe and well-led.  We inspected but did not rate effective as we are currently not confident that we are collecting sufficient evidence to rate effectiveness for Outpatients and Diagnostic Imaging services.
