Written question asked by Lord Ashley of Stoke (Labour), in the House of Lords. It was answered by Lord Darzi of Denham (Labour) on Wednesday, 20 May 2009.
Social Care: Companies
- Question
- To ask Her Majesty's Government how many care companies the Commission for Social Care Inspection closed down during its period of office.
- Answer
-
I am informed by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) that the Commission for Social Care Inspection (CSCI) had the power to cancel the registration of individual care services such as care homes, nursing homes and domiciliary care agencies. CSCI also had powers to cancel the registration of registered managers. CQC retains CSCI's powers of enforcement. Cancellation of registration is not necessarily equivalent to closing down a care company, as such providers may hold multiple registrations for individual services provided, or managers registered, in various locations. During its period of office, from 2004-05 to 2008-09, CSCI carried out 309 non-urgent and 28 urgent cancellations of registration.
