Cork University Hospital finishes bottom of HSE performance table

CORK University Hospital (CUH) has finished bottom of the pile in the HSE’s latest hospital performance table after being the only facility to be named in the lowest possible ratings category.

Figures from the latest HealthStat league show during March CUH received a “red light” rating – the worst standard possible.

Of 24 other hospitals ranked in the table, no other facility was rated so low, with 23 hospitals receiving the average “amber light” standard and just one – St James’s Hospital in Dublin – being given the high performance “green light” ranking.
