Hospitals to scrap star ratings
Star ratings, the controversial system for assessing the quality of hospitals, primary care services and ambulance trusts, are to be abandoned, the Government will announce today.

Hospitals and other NHS organisations will be subject to spot checks and unannounced visits as part of a new way of regulating the health service that will do away with the much-criticised star rating system.

Sir Ian Kennedy, the chairman of the Healthcare Commission, said the new system would provide detailed information on safety and quality of care at individual hospitals, for the first time giving patient the opportunity to make informed choice.
