Core Standards for EPRR ratings for Sussex Acute Trusts

The request was successful.

Dear NHS Sussex Integrated Care Board

Under the provisions of the Freedom of Information Act 2000, I am writing to request the numerical ratings of the following NHS acute Trusts against the NHS England Core Standards for Emergency Preparedness, Resilience and Response (EPRR) for 2021-22, excluding those standards that are part of the “Deep Dive”.

Please note that for each Trust I am requesting numerical records of the total number of Core Standards applicable, the number of Standards with which the Trust is fully compliant, the number of Standards with which the Trust is partially compliant and the number of Standards with which the Trust is non compliant.

This information should be readily available to the Board though the EPRR annual assurance process. I am requesting this information from the Board rather than the Trusts themselves because I would like the information held by the Board as part of the EPRR process.

I am requesting these numerical ratings for these Trusts:

East Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust
University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust

Yours faithfully
