title: 'Red tape, scrutiny and naming and shaming': the new ratings.
abstract: NHS chief executives fear the Healthcare Commission's new ratings system will be beset by bureaucracy and ineffective scrutiny, and that trusts will be unfairly named and shamed. Although the majority of respondents to an HSJ survey praised the proposals, 81 per cent feared that the 472 'prompts' would become proxy targets.
