Care for older people campaign

Research shows that older people are less likely to complain about services and they're likely to be less aware of the different ways they can share their views.

We're launching a campaign on March 6 to encourage people aged 60 or over to share their experiences of care with us. Follow @CareQualityComm for updates.
