The Care Quality Commission inspected Newcastle's Royal Victoria Infirmary in January as part of a wider look at England's maternity care.The "disappointing" rating was not a "fair reflection", trust bosses said.Inspectors said they found unsecured and out-of-date medicines in some areas of the maternity unit.
The service engaged well with those giving birth and the community to plan and manage services, inspectors also found.Dame Jackie Daniel, the chief executive of Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, said: "With such positive findings in the CQC report, it is difficult to understand the resultant rating which we do not think... is a fair reflection of the maternity service and dedicated care that our teams provide every day.
She said she was "proud" of the team for the "dedication, professionalism and caring attitude that they show each day whilst supporting those in our care".
