Mr Streeting said that he had been left "stunned by the extend of the failings" outlined in an independent review into the Care Quality Commission , the body that monitors and inspects all health and adult social care providers to ensure safety and quality standards. It identified "significant internal failings" affecting its ability to identify poor performance at hospitals, care homes and GP practices.
The Department of Health and Social Care announced immediate steps to restore public confidence in the CQC, which is appointing Professor Sir Mike Richards, a former hospital physician and its first chief inspector of hospitals, to review its assessment framework. Transparency regarding how the regulator determines ratings for health and social care providers will also be improved and the Government will have increased oversight of the CQC, the department said.
