Each of the zero star rated trusts was required to provide an action plan setting out how performance improvement was to be delivered; each action plan was assessed by the Department together with progress made by the trust since the publication of the ratings. Where appropriate the Department additionally used the progress reports provided by the Commission for Health Improvement.
