W1. Is there the leadership capacity and capability to deliver high-quality, sustainable care?

Characteristics of services we would rate as requires improvement in this area

Not all leaders have the necessary experience, knowledge, capacity, capability or integrity to lead effectively. Staff do not consistently know who their leaders are or how to gain access to them.

The need to develop leaders is not always identified or action is not always taken. Leaders are not always aware of the risks, issues and challenges in the service. Leaders are not always clear about their roles and their accountability for quality.
