The Isle of Wight NHS Trust has been ranked 73rd in newly published NHS tables that assess performance and finances across England’s acute hospital trusts.
The dataset was published this morning (Tuesday) as part of Health Secretary Wes Streeting’s NHS reformation plans.
The Isle of Wight NHS Trust ranks 73rd in the country for acute hospital trusts with a score of 2.42, some way off top performing Moorfields Eye Hospital NHS Foundation Trust which scored 1.39. Bottom of the ratings in 134th position was Queen Elizabeth Hospital in King’s Lynn which scored 3.35.
The rankings score NHS trusts on 7 different areas including waiting times for operations, cancer treatment, time spent in A&E and ambulance response times.
Their finances are also assessed, and it is possible that a hospital rated highly for clinical care will be marked down if they are running up a larger than expected deficit. They are then sorted into 4 categories – which the government is calling “segments” – the first of which reflecting the best overall performers and the fourth listing the worst.
The Isle of Wight NHS Trust has been placed in segment 3.
Trusts that are experiencing financial difficulties cannot be ranked higher than segment 3 even if they are assessed to have a good standard of care.

Like most island services, 3rd class.
Time to get all the shirking from home NHS employees
back to work, they are not effective sitting on their
ar@es at home.
Cut sick pay, performance should be based on pay
structure, any Hospital scoring low scores should
mean employees get less rewards.
73rd place is not very good, just imagine if all the
Islands patients who are receiving excellent service
in Pompey and Soton Hospitals were treated on the
Island, I bet the island would be further down the table.
One of the main reasons why hospitals underperform is their inabaility to recruit and retain staff leading to shortages both in numbers and experience. How that would be addressed by cutiing remuneration for staff escapes me.
You would be shocked how many NHS
employees are still shirking from home
since the pandemic.
Get back into the working environment.
Pompey was ranked 104th.
Probably because they have to take on the
Islands baggage, let’s face it, what services are
provided for patients on the island.
I have nothing but praise for the hospital. I have used different services over the few years. They have been excellent
Lucky you.
Not a surprise frankly
There are many reasons why the isle of wight hospital is in the position it is, not all of them clear or obvious,they have an unsustainable budget whiich means they are heavily marked down primarily due to overstaffing in many areas and the lack of ability to move them to where they are needed,agency medical costs are high on the island ,non medical staff in proportion to patient care staff are hugely out of proportion to modern working practices, the word streamlining and efficiency are banned words in the NHS.
Dorset have been moaning they were bad,
they were in 48th position.
The island is an embarrassment 73rd position,
especially considering all the serious operations and
procedures are carried out on the mainland.
St Mary’s have it easy, what procedures do they actually
carry out.
The only way is up
Sounds like a suppository
Lol
The NHS would be a much more effective workplace if they
abolished full sick pay and only paid Statutory sick pay,
all the shirkers will soon make a speedy recovery and get
back into the work place.
It is amazing how wonderful money is as a medicine
for making a speedy recovery.
Abolish sick pay, pay SSP only!!
It’s a case of employing staff who actually know what they’re doing!
Yes there are some good people working there, I feel sad for them because the rest are under trained, and haven’t the empathy or skill to do their jobs properly.
There aren’t enough services to cater for our Island population either. Waiting times for procedures and routine clinics are ridiculously long. The communication between doctors and their ability to refer is weak. It needs a bloody good shake up.
Screen new recruits and monitor their progress and make sure they can do the job as patients are suffering.
