THE results of the investigation into death rates at Colchester Hospital University NHS Foundaton Trust are due to be released next week.

The Keogh Review inspectors visited Colchester’s hospitals on June 4, 5 and 11.

It was one of 14 trusts to be investigated.

Gordon Coutts, trust chief executive, said: “From what I have seen so far, the report is fair and recognises the improvements we have already made and the improvements we have planned.”

The results and and recommendations will be released on July 16.
