The best and worst NHS trusts in England have been named

It comes as part of a new government initiative

The league table was revealed for the first time today by The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC).

Health Secretary Wes Streeting said the tables would help inform the public and allow them to exercise choice, although trusts have expressed doubt over whether the table uses the right metrics.

An NHS Trust is an entity within the NHS which provides healthcare services to a specific geographical area or population, and can encompass multiple hospitals and services.

Trusts are scored on seven different factors which include waiting times for operations, cancer treatment, time spent in A&E and ambulance response times.

Finances are also assessed.

The government has said that trusts that place consistently low in the rankings will see managers have their salary docked, while trusts that perform better will be granted greater freedoms and investment.

Those that perform badly will receive 'targeted support'.
