The CQC previously published its response to measures announced by the Secretary of State to address winter pressures in health and care services. This involves adjusting their regulatory activity until the end of March 2023.
- They aim to work with the Directors of Adult Social Services across England to identify care homes or homecare agencies across England where they could inspect to assess whether ratings can be updated. They aim to carry out around 300 of these inspections by the end of March 2023 where:
- Services are rated as requires improvement, but commissioning or inspection teams believe that rating no longer reflects the quality of the service
- Services are registered and active, but locations are ‘unrated’ as we have not yet inspected them, and the lack of regulatory history prevents commissioning them
- Providers have confirmed they have staffing resources available to meet the needs of additional people who may use the service
- Providers have confirmed they are prepared to accept funded placements.If you would like to stay one step ahead, our team of CQC compliance experts will carry out a thorough audit of the care service you provide to highlight any areas of concern.
Once complete, a full report will be made available to you along with any recommendations to help pull that area back into compliance and best practice. Further support is always available if required.
