Latest national 'NHS league tables' published

The Robert Jones and Agnes Hunt Orthopaedic Hospital has been ranked 25th among all 134 NHS Acute Trusts in the latest league tables published as part of the NHS National Oversight Framework (NOF).

The league tables form part of an interactive dashboard under the NOF which has been launched by NHS England as part of its commitment to drive transparency and improvement in NHS performance.

The dashboard provides a view of how NHS trusts are performing in key services including urgent and emergency care, elective services, mental health and more.

The league tables show how local trusts compare with others across England on both these individual services and at an overall level.

Based on their performance each trust has been placed into one of four core segments - segment 1 represents the organisations with the narrowest range of challenges while segment 4 contains those with the broadest. The dashboard shows what segment each trust is in as well as the data that has been used to make this decision.

RJAH has been placed in segment 2. Only one in 5 Trusts (28) are in segments 1 or 2 in this second iteration of the league tables.

More detail on the segmentation and league tables can be found on the NHS England website.

Please note that the Trust is currently talking to NHS England about how C.Diff rates are reported in this data. The data published covers the period October 2024 to September 2025. However, in the current financial year (from April 2025), the Trust has reported just one C.Diff occurrence (which was in August), and is therefore within its target for the year. We want to be clear to patients and visitors that RJAH has a strong performance record with regards infection rates, and this continues.
