On the 15th September 2011 the Care Quality Commission (CQC) published their third annual report into the state of health and adult social care in England.
This report covers the period April 2010 to the end of March 2011and is the first version of the report in which the CQC have used evidence obtained under their new system of regulation.
The chair of the Care Quality Commission, Dame Jo Williams, said: “While it will be a further year before we can present a complete picture of the state of regulated care in England, this year’s report provides a valuable picture of people’s experiences of access to care services, the choice and control that they have when using services, and the quality of the care that is provided.”
The report is divided into four main sections:
- The shape of health and social care provision
- Access to care services
- Choice and control
- Quality and safety
It also includes case studies looking at how improvements in standards have been made by services and how the CQC's regulatory work has helped drive these improvements. The full report can be downloaded from the CQC website; www.cqc.org.uk
