All health and adult social care providers who provide regulated activities, will be required by law to register with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) in 2010.
The NHS, including Primary Care Trusts (PCTs), will have to register from
1 April next year. Adult social care and independent providers will register from 1 October 2009.
To register, providers must demonstrate they are meeting new essential standards of quality and safety across all of the regulated activities they provide such as:
· personal care
· surgical procedures
· treatment of disease, disorder of injury
CQC will:
· monitor whether providers continue to comply with regulations
· use its new enforcement powers to make sure swift action is taken if providers
are not compliant
