Care Quality Commission – Use of Resources Consultation

Together with NHS Improvement, the Care Quality Commission (CQC) have today started consulting on plans to fully implement the process that both organisations will use to report on how NHS non-specialist acute trusts are using their resources to provide high quality, efficient and sustainable care.

The CQC are asking for your views on our proposed approach to working with NHS Improvement to reflect their assessment of trusts’ use of resources in published CQC inspection reports and trust-level ratings.

The CQC are also seeking feedback on how they can best combine the rating that will be awarded for use of resources, with the CQC five trust-level quality ratings, and how they will generate new combined ratings at the trust level.

The consultation will run from 8 November 2017 to 10 January 2018.

You can feedback on the consultation here – please feel encouraged to share this consultation information with others.
