Health inspectors sent into chaotic councils to ease NHS bed blocking Care Quality Commission inspectors are to be sent into chaotic councils for the first time in a bid to improve faltering social care services.

The move, announced by Jeremy Hunt in Parliament last night, will be accompanied by the threat of financial sanctions for local authorities which fail to improve. The Daily Telegraph
