CQC: entire NHS and care system needs fixing

26 Jul 2024

EMBARGO: Immediate Release

Responding to the Health Secretary saying that the Care Quality Commission "is not fit for purpose", Liberal Democrat Health and Social Care spokesperson, Daisy Cooper MP said:

"In recent weeks countless people have told us harrowing stories about not being able to get the care they or their loved ones need leaving them feeling anxious and abandoned.

“The Conservative party kicked the can down the road on overhauling social care and sent NHS waiting lists spiralling. It is patients who have borne the brunt of this shocking neglect.

“For too long, too many patients have had no levers to pull to stop things going wrong and when they do, complaints and regulatory systems are too complex and slow. 

"The findings of this report are staggering and the CQC and our entire NHS and care system needs fixing, with patient rights at its heart.”
