DEATH rates at a number of Yorkshire hospitals have been flagged up as potential causes for concern in a new report.

The latest Dr Foster hospital guide also highlights worryingly high mortality levels at Northern Lincolnshire and Goole Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, which was put into special measures earlier this year following a Government review into high death rates.

A higher-than-expected number of patients at Hull and East Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust died after surgery in 2012-13, the guide shows.

Rotherham NHS Foundation Trust had a higher than expected number of deaths in hospital or within 30 days of release according to its summary hospital-level mortality indicator (SHMI) score.
