The consultation details how CQC proposes to assess the quality of:
- Councils as commissioners
- PCTs as commissioners
- NHS trusts and PCTs as providers
- Adult social care organisations as providers
It’s assessments of quality will:
complement the registration programme, which assesses and enforces essential standards of quality;
assess the quality of care over and above those essential standards and drive improvement.
They will also enable CQC to assess the performance of commissioners and the outcomes they secure for local communities.
For both commissioners and providers they will provide publicly available information for individuals using or choosing care services and for organisations delivering or commissioning those services.
