Latest NHS league tables show more positive progress for RJAH

The Robert Jones and Agnes Hunt Orthopaedic Hospital has been ranked 22nd among all 134 NHS Acute Trusts in the latest league tables published today (18 March 2026) as part of the NHS National Oversight Framework (NOF).

This ranking represents an improvement by three places from the last iteration of the tables published in December, and five places from when the tables were first published in September 2025, reflecting continual improvement in performance.

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 (27) are in segments 1 or 2 in the third iteration of the league tables.

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