CQC's purpose is to ensure health and social care services provide safe, effective, compassionate and high-quality care. CQC registers, monitors, inspects and regulates services like hospitals and doctors to meet quality and safety standards. While CQC will continue inspecting individual services, over the next 5 years it will also inspect how well specific populations like older adults receive coordinated care across services and report on quality in different local areas, as more people will need care with fewer resources. CQC is consulting on prioritizing inspections of pathways for conditions like diabetes, care for groups like older adults, or geographical ratings.
