I understand that a lot of work has taken place since then and I know there is new management. However, the Care Quality Commission would be well advised to concentrate on its core business—the inspection of social care providers—and on improving its ratings system, which has been found to be negligent. Only over the weekend, there has been publicity about the abuse of residents in some care homes. You could argue that, had the CQC been operating properly, it might have been able to pick that up. In my view, that is where the Care Quality Commission should be focusing its attention, rather than on thinking of a new area such as this.
