CQC have published their report on the state of care
Our State of Care 2009/10 report looks at the quality of services during the final year of regulation under the Care Standards Act 2000 and the Health and Social Care Act 2003.
When producing the report, we looked at outcomes for people using health care and social care services in 2009/10 to provide a picture of their experiences.
Our report only covers the services that we regulated and assessed under the previous legislation. These were:
- The NHS and independent healthcare services.
- Adult social care services such as care homes, nursing homes and home care agencies.
- Councils and primary care trusts (PCTs), which commission or provide the above services for their communities.
Our aim is that the evidence and conclusions in our report should inform and encourage improvements in the quality of care through 2011 and beyond.
We have divided our report into four sections, each focussing on a different area of care
