St Giles Hospice Quality Account 2016/17
NHS Stafford and Surrounds, Cannock Chase and South East Staffordshire and Seisdon Peninsula Clinical
Commissioning Groups (CCG) are pleased to comment on the St Giles Hospice Quality Account 2016/17.
Local CCGs are committed to working closely with St Giles Hospice to maintain the organisation’s high
standard of quality and safety. Formal monitoring of quality and safety is undertaken through the Staffordshire
Hospices Clinical Quality Review Meeting (CQRM) where representatives from CCGs and Hospices across
Staffordshire meet to scrutinise a substantial amount of both quantitative and qualitative data. In addition St
Giles Hospice submit comprehensive Quarterly Quality Reports to local CCGs. CQRMs are the primary forum
for the CCGs and St Giles Hospice to discuss quality and safety however staff from both organisations also
work closely outside of these meetings.
The CCGs are assured that St Giles Hospice deliver a good service in terms of quality and safety and the
content of the Quality Account supports this. Patient feedback regarding the Hospice is consistently positive
and quality and safety measures demonstrate a high standard of care. The CCGs support the hospices
identified priorities for the future and looks forward to continuing to work with St Giles Hospice in 2017/18.
To the best of the Commissioner’s knowledge the information contained within this report is accurate.
