Annual Reports
CQC: The Care Quality Commission applauded overall improvements over recent years, as it published its first annual report to parliament on the state of health care & adult social care in England.
But it cautioned that some services were lagging behind the pack and that there were areas of common concern across health & social care, notably keeping people safe and staff training.

CQC pointed out that services would be operating in a different environment in future, with pressure on finances adding to continuing increases in demand and rising expectations.
It said that the next big challenge for health & social care is to accelerate efforts to make services more joined up & centred around people’s needs. Its report argues that joining up health & social care can deliver both better care and greater efficiency.
