The Care Quality Commission (CQC) makes sure people in England get better health and adult social care.
To do this, they do the following:
CQC put people who use health and adult social care services at the centre of what they do. They are accountable to the Government but are not linked to any political party.
They:
- License health and adult social care services as long as they meet essential standards of quality and safety.
- Continuously monitor health and adult social care providers to make sure they are meeting essential standards.
- Work together with people who use services, service providers and with other regulators to make sure care improves.
They regulate the following care services:
- Medical and clinical treatment given to people of all ages, including treatment given in hospitals, ambulance services, and mental health services. They will eventually include primary care such as GP and dental practices.
- Care provided in residential homes, in the community, in people’s own homes for adults, and in residential care homes for children. They focus on people who find themselves in vulnerable circumstances, including those with mental health problems, learning disabilities, physical disabilities or long-term health conditions and older people.
- Services for people whose rights are restricted under the Mental Health Act.
- Care provided either by the NHS or independently.
