The Care Quality Commission (CQC) is responsible for assessing whether providers are meeting the fundamental standards.

The Department monitors CQC’s financial and operational performance and risks at a general and strategic level through regular formal accountability meetings.

It does not assess CQC’s inspection or monitoring of specific providers.
