There are currently 11 members of the Care Quality Commission (CQC) Board, of whom eight are non-executive members appointed by the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care and three are executive members appointed by the non-executive members.

Of those 11 members, all but two have experience in the sectors that CQC regulates. Details of board members’ experience can be found on CQC’s website, which is available at the following link:

CQC does not hold data centrally to give the number and proportion of employees with previous experience in the sectors they regulate.
