Our Interim Chief Executive, Kate Terroni, has announced that she will be leaving the Care Quality Commission (CQC).

James Bullion has been acting in the role of Interim Chief Executive during Kate’s recent leave of absence and will continue to act in the role until Sir Julian Hartley takes up post as our permanent Chief Executive.

Kate joined the organisation in 2019 as Chief Inspector of Adult Social Care, before becoming Deputy Chief Executive and most recently, Interim Chief Executive. We would like to thank Kate for her enormous contribution to CQC, for her tireless commitment to making a difference to people who use services, and for helping lay foundations for the work we have ahead of us to respond to the Dash review and Sir Mike Richards’ report, and to rebuild trust with the public, providers and our staff.

We wish Kate every success for her future career.
