CQC publishes report on Central London Community Healthcare NHS Trust

Published: 15 June 2020 Page last updated: 15 June 2020

A Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspection report on Central London Community Healthcare NHS Trust has been published today (Monday, 15 June).

CQC carried out an inspection at the trust between 19 February and 18 March 2020 and, as a result, its ratings remain unchanged. The trust is rated as Good overall.

Routine inspections were suspended by CQC on 16 March 2020 to support and reduce the pressure on health and social care services during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. CQC, as well as providers, wants to be able to prioritise keeping people safe during this time. This inspection was already underway at the time of the suspension and therefore couldn’t be completed in the usual way.

This report includes the findings from the completed service level inspection, but the well-led inspection was not completed. CQC is only able to update findings on well-led at the overall trust level or update the other trust-level ratings when the well-led component has been inspected. As a result, the ratings for the overall trust and five key questions included in this report are from a previous inspection.

The trust was previously inspected in September and October 2018.
