Review of health care in care homes
CQC review of health care in care homes has now commenced. This review will look at whether adults of all ages living in care homes have:
- choice and control over their health care;
- equal access to NHS services;
- good quality health care provided by the care home when needed.
In the next weeks CQC will ask Primary Care Trusts and councils to provide some information. CQC will use this information to assess risks in their review of health care for people living in care homes. CQC will then visit a number of PCTs, Councils and care homes to assess the quality of health care for people living in care homes.
Special reviews programme
This review is part of CQC's Special reviews programme. Their special reviews and studies take an in-depth look at particular aspects of care and people’s experiences of using care. The results of all 6 special reviews being undertaken during 2010 will help us to monitor whether care providers comply with CQC's new registration requirements.
