Friends and family test scores
The NHS friends and family test (FFT) was introduced in 2013 to enable patients to feed back on their care and treatment to enable hospitals and other providers to improve services.
It asks patients whether they would recommend hospital wards, A&E departments and maternity services to their friends and family if they needed similar care or treatment. The January results are below.
