Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps his Department has taken to address concerns raised in the CQC Report on BPAS Merseyside published in January 2017.
The concerns raised in the Care Quality Commission’s (CQC) 2017 inspection report of British Pregnancy Advisory Service (BPAS) Merseyside are being addressed locally. The CQC has been reassured that BPAS has addressed a range of concerns identified in the report, including implementation of agreed standards with commissioners and providers who are monitoring service delivery. The CQC is due to re-inspect BPAS Merseyside later in 2019.
