These reviews, exercised under the Secretaries of State's Section 48 powers, will look specifically at how people move between health and social care, including delayed transfers of care, with a particular focus on people over 65 years old.
The areas to be reviewed are:
- Bradford
- Cumbria
- Hampshire
- Liverpool
- Northamptonshire
- Sheffield
- Stockport
- Wiltshire
"Our intention is that the review findings will highlight what is working well and where there are opportunities for improving how the system works, enabling the sharing of good practice and identifying where additional support is needed to secure better outcomes for people using services."
These reviews will be carried out between February and April 2018. On completion, the findings will be reported to each local authority area’s Health and Wellbeing Board and published at www.cqc.org.uk/localsystemreviews.
The Process
The CQC will look at how well people move through the health and social care system, and what improvements could be made. The services they will be focusing on include:- NHS hospitals
- NHS community services
- GP practices
- Care homes
- Residential care services
- Ambulance services
- listening to older people who use services, their families, carers and communities.
- listening to people who commission and provide health and social care for older people.
- analysing data about the quality of care services and outcomes for people.
These reviews follow on from the previous twelve area reviews carried out by the CQC, click here to view these online.
