To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether he plans to end the use of one or two word ratings used by the Care Quality Commission.
Answer
The Department is thoroughly reviewing the Care Quality Commission (CQC), and as part of that work, we have asked the CQC to improve the transparency of their ratings. The Department has not yet made a decision on changing the CQC’s ratings system.
