CQC closes Winterbourne View Hospital

The Care Quality Commission (CQC) announced on Sunday that Winterbourne View, the hospital featured in the recent Panorama programme, has closed. New accommodation has been found for all the of the hospital’s patients.

Castlebeck, the hospital's owner, told the Care Quality Commission that it would not be seeking to challenge their decision regarding the closure of Winterbourne View, so the CQC do not expect the company to oppose the formal Notice of decision that will lead to the withdrawal of its registration to provide services at the hospital.

For support with CQC registration and compliance, take a look at the Words Worth Reading Ltd website.
