How well did we do our inspections? A survey to
evaluate the Healthcare Environment Inspectorate’s inspection
programme (September 2009–September 2010)
We undertook a survey with all NHS boards to
evaluate how well the inspectorate performed its Year 1 inspection
programme (September 2009–September 2010). The survey covered all
stages of inspection as well as gathering information on the impact
and improvement actions taken by NHS boards as a result of
inspection. The survey was conducted between September–December
2010. Key findings from the survey indicated that:
- 96.7% of respondents believe that independent
inspection by HEI has value and leads to improvement
- 96% of respondents stated that action
had been taken as a result of verbal feedback given by HEI on the
day of the inspection, and
- 74.7% of respondents stated that
action had been taken following publication of the local inspection
report and action plan.
The collated findings are
available in the report above.
