The Quality Account is an annual report, which reviews our performance and progress against the quality of services we provided in 2022 – 2023 and sets out our key quality and safety improvement priorities for 2023 – 2024. It demonstrates our commitment to continue improving our services and provide high quality, safe and effective care to our patients, their carers and their families. This means that it is essential that we focus on the right quality and safety priorities for the forthcoming year. Click here to read our Quality Account 2022-2023.
Commissioning for Quality and Innovation (CQUIN) Scheme
The CQUIN scheme is intended to deliver clinical quality improvements and drive transformational change. These will impact on reducing inequalities in access to services, the experiences of using them and the outcomes achieved. See NHS England » Commissioning for Quality and Innovation for more information and detail of the national schemes.
For 2017/19 the national CQUIN scheme will be followed.
The 2016/17 scheme for HDFT agreed with the Harrogate and Rural District Clinical Commissioning Group was a variation of the national scheme, and designed to support local transformation. The indicators were:
- Improved integration of providers along the End of Life Care pathway
- Promote a system of timely identification and proactive management of frailty in community locality teams
- Timely identification and treatment for sepsis in emergency departments
- Timely identification and treatment for sepsis in inpatient settings
- Improved compliance with CCG clinical threshold documents and procedures of limited clinical value guidance for consultant to consultant and other internally generated demand
- Increased usage of decision aids in secondary and community care.
The 2016/17 scheme for HDFT in relation to the contract with NHS England included the following indicators:
- Specialist Commissioning QIPP (quality, innovation, productivity and prevention)
- Specialist Commissioning SACT (systemic anti-cancer therapy)
- Specialist Commissioning annual report of data completeness for NNAP (national neonatal audit programme) questions
- Secondary care for orthodontic treatment
- Public health – Armed Forces

Gender Pay Gap at the Trust and Harrogate Integrated Facilities (wholly owned subsidiary)
In accordance with the Equality Act 2010 (Specific Duties and Public Authorities) Regulations 2017, employers with 250 or more employees are required to publish information on the pay gap between male and female employees as at 31 March each year. This information must be published on the employer’s website (and must remain on the website for a minimum of three years) to be accessible to both employees and the public.
The gender pay gap is different to equal pay. Equal pay means that men and women in the same employment who are performing equal work must receive equal pay, as set out in the Equality Act 2010. It is unlawful to pay people unequally because they are a man or a woman.
