Performance and Capability Review of the Care Quality Commission

Performance and Capability Review of the Care Quality Commission: The Department of Health has published the report of its Performance and Capability Review of the Care Quality Commission (CQC). The review is intended to provide assurance to the public, the Department and Parliament that CQC is improving its performance and that action will be taken to build and sustain its capability for the future. The review sets out recommendations to challenge CQC and support its continuing improvement by providing clearer strategic direction, strengthening the CQC board and developing and delivering the regulatory model. These recommendations will be important to ensure that CQC builds and sustains its capability for the future. The review also recognises that the Department has more to do as a sponsor and work is underway to strengthen accountability arrangements across all the Department's arms length bodies.
