Adult social care standards see ‘improvement’
The Care Quality Commission has announced that standards in adult social care are improving but that there is still some way to go.
A report carried out by the CQC has found that standards have improved considerably since 2008 but that more capacity is needed in the market to meet future needs.
CQC chief executive Cynthia Bower said: “We’re greatly encouraged to see the improvement in quality of adult social care and the growth in levels of provision.
“However, we acknowledge there remain pockets of poor practice. Where we have concerns about quality we will not hesitate to act swiftly, using our tougher enforcement powers.”
