Care Homes: Closures
(asked on 8th February 2021) - View Source
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many (a) care homes and (b) nursing homes closed in 2020.
This question was answered on 16th February 2021
The Department does not routinely collect data on care home closures. While the Care Quality Commission publishes data on care home deactivations, this is not the same as a closure. For example, a location may have deactivated and re-registered because it has made changes to its legal structure or changed address.
