Consultation on revised enforcement document
This consultation looks at changes the CQC have had to make to the enforcement policy to reflect their new enforcement powers.
The Care Quality Commission have revised their current enforcement policy because some of their enforcement powers are different to those they anticipated when they published their first policy in March 2009.
There are changes to Warning Notice arrangements, and they have added ‘Compliance Actions’ and ‘Improvement Actions’ to their possible regulatory responses.
Their basic approach and the principles they will follow when responding to failure to comply with the essential standards remains unchanged from their existing policy.
The consultation runs until Tuesday 31 August 2010. They plan to publish their final enforcement policy on 1 October 2010.
CQC encourage providers, people who use services and other stakeholders to respond to their consultation – to do this you can:
