Health Secretary Wes Streeting says the Care Quality Commission is 'not fit for purpose' following damning findings from an independent review.

An independent review into the Care Quality Commission has revealed 'significant internal failings' that are hampering its ability to keep a check on health and social care institutions.

Mr Streeting promised immediate action and increased oversight of the CQC, announcing the appointment of former chief inspector of hospitals Professor Sir Mike Richards to review its assessment frameworks. The government also promised to improve transparency over the watchdog's ratings for health and social care providers and ensure the CQC regularly updates the Department of Health on its progress.
