- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many (a) registered managers and (b) employees of Care Quality Commissioned-registered companies have been served official warning notices in each of the last five years; and how many such people have received later warnings or a dismissal.
[150960]
- Answer
-
The Care Quality Commission (CQC) is the independent regulator of health and adult social care providers in England.
The CQC has regulatory powers in relation to providers of regulated activities and registered managers. Other than registered managers, it does not have any powers in relation to individual employees of registered providers, but is required to work with other bodies if it has concerns about their competence.
The CQC has provided the following information.
The CQC is unable to provide the information in the format requested because its recording system currently does not distinguish between warning notices that are served to providers and those that are provided to registered managers. A manual search of the records would incur disproportionate cost.
The total number of warning notices that the CQC has issued under the Health and Social Care Act 2008 is shown in the following table:
Warning notices
2010-11
17
2011-12
634
2012-13
1,178
Total
1,829
Six providers have been served with enforcement measures, excluding warning notices, after being served a warning notice for a particular outcome. These measures included one cancellation of registration and five notices of proposal to impose conditions on the providers' registration to provide services.
