The Care Quality Commission (CQC) has published its third annual report to Parliament on the state of health and adult social care in England. The report covers the period April 2010 until March 2011. The report shows that nursing homes are less compliant with CQC standards than other social care services. Just 51% of nursing homes were fully compliant with the standard on care and welfare. This compares with a full compliance rate of 68% for residential homes and 73% for homecare agencies. CQC identified major concerns on care and welfare in 10% of nursing homes, 5% of residential homes and 3% of domiciliary care agencies. Meanwhile press reports indicate that CQC plans to make more unannounced visits and develop methodologies for carrying this out in a home environment: www.publicservice.co.uk/news_story.asp?id=17436
