Your views please – proposals
for our next phase of regulation
We are now consulting on proposals for our next phase of regulation
(closes 14 February 2017). This includes proposals for how we will
regulate new and complex types of providers, and changes to our assessment
frameworks and KLOEs, as well as specific proposals for how we regulate NHS
trusts from April 2017. You can read and respond to the consultation online.
We are also consulting jointly with NHS Improvement on our shared
approach to leadership and use of resources in NHS Trusts, and would encourage
NHS Trusts to read both consultation documents before responding. Please visit here
for more information.
Next phase consultation webinars: sign up now!
To support you to respond to the
consultation, we will be hosting a series of webinars where you can hear about
our proposals and ask questions. You can sign up to attend the webinars here.
Reminder: Have your say on CQC's fees
consultation
Our consultation on the fees we propose to charge registered
providers in 2017/18 will close at noon on Wednesday 11 January 2017. If
you have not responded, you can find out more about our proposed fees scheme
and how to respond to the consultation on our website.
Independent Health inspection schedule
We expect to have completed inspections of acute
independent health acute hospitals by the end of March. The main focus of
inspections in the first quarter of 2017/18 will be independent ambulance
providers and refractive eye services. As the year progresses we will
start our programme of inspections for dialysis services and diagnostic
imaging.
