The hospital, managed by the York and Scarborough Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust,
-has been rated ‘requires improvement’ overall by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) after its most recent unannounced inspection on January 14 and 15.
It followed the watchdog rating the hospital ‘inadequate’ following its previous inspection in October 2022.
The latest inspection focused on the hospital's urgent and emergency care (UEC) and medical care services.
It found that the hospital’s urgent and emergency care has improved from inadequate to requires improvement, as have the ratings for being safe and responsive.
Medical care has also been rated requires improvement overall.
Alan Stephenson, the CQC’s deputy director of operations for the north, said “most people and their families were positive about the care they received” at the hospital.
He said the trust had “made some improvements, but they have more work to do to make sure people are safer and leadership continues to improve, as we know that better leaders mean better care”.
Simon Morritt, chief executive of the NHS trust, said it welcomed the CQC's findings and recognised "there is more to do" at the hospital.
