Care Quality Commission (CQC)

Our purpose and role

CQC is the independent regulator of health and adult social care in England.

We make sure health and social care services provide people with safe, effective, compassionate, high-quality care and we encourage care services to improve.

We monitor, inspect and regulate services and publish what we find. Where we find poor care, we will use our powers to take action.
