There are only two weeks left to respond to the CQC strategy consultation on its plans for the next five years.
Shaping the future sets out the CQC’s vision for the future regulation of health and social care. The delivery of health and social care has changed and continues to do so. Integration is driving new ways of working, systems are also changing in response to the increasing elderly population with multiple needs accessing a range of services. The CQC needs to find ways to adapt to the changes and become more efficient and effective. The consultation document sets out its proposals for responding to these challenges and new ways of working.
The CQC is keen to hear what people think of its plans for the future. In drafting the consultation it has listened to the views of the public, providers, professionals, CQC staff and other stakeholders. The regulator would like you to tell it if you agree with:
- Its vision for regulating the quality of health and adult social care services.
- The proposals it has set out on how it aims to achieve this.
- The equality, diversity and human rights impacts it has considered.
The strategy covers six themes:
- Improving CQC's use of data and information.
- Implementing a single shared view of quality.
- Targeting and tailoring its inspection activity.
- Developing a more flexible approach to registration.
- Assessing how well hospitals use resources.
- Developing methods to assess quality for populations and across local areas.
There are two ways to respond to the consultation, via the CQC’s dedicated web form here or by emailing your comments to [email protected]
