THE Care Quality Commission (CQC) has announced it will carry out a full inspection of the troubled Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals NHS Trust.

The trust, which runs the Royal Sussex in Brighton, was rated as inadequate when it was last inspected in April last year.

The CQC will again return with inspectors going in from April 25 until April 27.

It said a team of five inspectors conducted a “desktop review” to check on progress in January.
