Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, pursuant to the Answer of 2 March 2018 to Question 65063 on care homes: standards, if he will publish the number of social care provider de-registrations for all NUTS1 regions between 2010-11 and 2017-18.

The Care Quality Commission (CQC) have provided the attached data to show the number of adult social care providers that deregistered between 1 April 2010 and 31 March 2018, by financial years and the reasons for deregistration over the same period. This data should be set against the context that the number of overall social care beds has remained constant over the last seven years, whilst the number of care home agencies in England has increased since 2010 which reflects the push to care for people in their own homes. The data is as at 3 April 2018.

The CQC have provided the attached data showing those de-registrations which occurred because the care home closed or because of a legal entity change or change of the provider.
