Care Quality Commission (CQC)

2012

The Care Quality Commission (CQC) has published a further 19 reports from a targeted programme of 150 unannounced inspections of hospitals and care homes that care for people with learning disabilities. The programme is looking at whether people experience safe and appropriate care, treatment and support and whether they are protected from abuse. A national report into the findings of the programme will be published later this year. These 19 inspections covered locations that provided a range of services including assessment and treatment, rehabilitation and longer term care.
