Supported Housing: Closures
(asked on 28th February 2018) - View Source
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many supported housing providers were closed due to poor Care Quality Commission ratings in each year since 2009-10.
The Care Quality Commission (CQC) has provided the following response:
The CQC does not close down registered services due to an inadequate rating alone. Enforcement action is taken due to providers breaching regulations; the most serious of these breaches can result in the CQC taking action to suspend or remove a service’s registration. There will also be a number of providers who voluntarily deregistered prior to the CQC completing enforcement action. These are not included in the following table.
