Item 8<br />

FFT scores are calculated on a monthly basis using the following equation:<br />

Proportion of respondents who would be extremely likely to recommend (response category:<br />

“extremely likely”)<br />

MINUS<br />

Proportion of respondents who would not recommend (response categories: “neither likely<br />

nor unlikely”, “unlikely” & “extremely unlikely”)<br />

Figures detailing FFT rates for all acute <strong>Trust</strong>s will be published by the Department of Health<br />

at the end of July, thereby providing a benchmark to measure progress against.<br />

responded to. The top three areas for concern relate to attitude of staffing, communication,<br />

<strong>and</strong> lack of information provided regarding care. In the past three months there has been a<br />

notable increase in the number of compliments posted in the website, 58 of the postings<br />

have been positive feedback. An example of a recent compliment from a gentleman who<br />

was admitted as an emergency is shown below.<br />

throughout by all the staff. Given the recent virulent criticisms of the <strong>NHS</strong>, I can only say a massive<br />

"Thank You" to Derriford Hospital. Head of A&E can be proud of their team, <strong>and</strong> I Ieft feeling<br />

comforted <strong>and</strong> re-assured.<br />
