Quality Accounts 2010-2011
A Quality Account is an annual report to the public from providers of NHS healthcare services about the quality of their services. They mirror providers’ publication of their financial accounts.

Healthcare providers publishing Quality Accounts in June 2011 have a legal duty to send their Quality Account to the LINk in the local authority area in which the provider has its registered office, inviting comments on the report from the LINk prior to publication. This gives LINks the opportunity to review the information contained in the report and provide a statement on their view of what is reported.
