context_page_description: Epsom and St Helier University Hospitals NHS Trust is an NHS trust which runs two main hospitals: Epsom Hospital and St Helier Hospital. It also runs a chronic fatigue and pain clinic at Sutton Hospital.
context_section_description: In December 2013 it was announced as one of 29 trusts out of 143 that had, according to the Dr Foster Hospital Guide, a hospital standardised mortality ratio (a measure of how many people would be expected to die with the actual rate of death) of 92.05. Dr Ruth Charlton, the trust’s joint medical director, who leads on the Epsom site, added: "It's excellent news to see our ongoing commitment to our patients' safety is really paying off."
  The trust is among the safest in the country according to Care Quality Commission indicators measured in 2014.
  In 2014 the trust did well on the target of seeing 95% of people who attend accident and emergency departments within four hours. It achieved 95.7%,  despite an 11% increase in A&E attendances in December. Experienced consultants see patients in A&E which reduces the numbers admitted.  In February 2016 it was expecting a deficit of £28.4 million for the year 2015/6.
