CQC response to Four Seasons Health Care announcement

Commenting on the announcement by Elli Finance (UK) Plc and Elli Investments Limited relating to Four Seasons Health Care, Andrea Sutcliffe, our Chief Inspector of Adult Social Care yesterday said:

“People using any adult social care service, their families and carers, need to have confidence that the service provides good quality care which can be sustained into the future. The announcement today will I am sure provoke some anxiety but is an important step in securing the long-term financial future of this company.

"Through our Market Oversight responsibilities, CQC is monitoring the situation closely and currently there is no reason to believe that the day to day provision of care within Four Seasons Health Care Group will adversely change as a result of today’s announcement.

"To ensure there is continuity of care for people, CQC has a responsibility to advise local authorities if we believe that services are likely to be disrupted as a result of business failure.  CQC does not believe this to be the case at this point in time.”
