In the past week the Care Quality Commission has published a further 30 reports on the quality of care provided by adult social care services across London.

Following recent inspections, 16 of these care homes and agencies supporting people in their own homes as Good, 12 have been rated Requires Improvement and 2 have been rated Inadequate.

Under CQC’s new programme of inspections, all of England’s adult social care services are being given a rating according to whether they are safe, effective, caring, responsive and well led.   

Sally Warren, CQC's Deputy Chief Inspector for Adult Social Care, said:

"People are entitled to services which provide safe, effective, compassionate and high quality care.; If that is what we find on inspection – we give the service a rating of Good, or Outstanding.

"If we find that a service requires improvement, we will expect them to provide us with a full plan setting out how they will address the issue. We will share our findings with local commissioners, and we will return in due course to check that they have made the required improvements.

"Whenever we find a service to be Inadequate, we will consider taking further action on behalf of the people who use the service."
