Original consultation

Summary

We're seeking views on proposals to amend regulations so that the Care Quality Commission (CQC) will rate all providers of regulated activities, with a few exceptions.

This consultation was held on another website.

This consultation ran from
12 September 2017 to 11:59pm on 6 November 2017

Consultation description

The Department of Health proposes to amend the Care Quality Commission (Reviews and Performance Assessments) Regulations 2014 so that CQC has a duty to rate all providers of regulated activities, except for some specific registered service providers and regulated activities.

This consultation is targeted at providers of health and social care services registered with CQC. It seeks your views as to whether it is appropriate for CQC to extend performance assessment and ratings to include independent community health services and independent doctors.
