Care Homes: Newham

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what (a) recent estimate her Department has made of the number of residential care homes that have closed in Newham since 1 January 2020, (b) assessment she makes of the socio-economic circumstances of the residents impacted and (c) if any assessment she has made of the impact on life expectancy of residents moved due to these closures.

Answer

Since 1 January 2020, two residential care homes in Newham have been ‘deactivated’. The Care Quality Commission records care homes which have closed as ‘deactivated’, which exclude care homes where the provider continues to operate under a new, separate registration. This could be due to a legal entity change or a change in the provider.

No specific assessment of the socioeconomic circumstances and life expectancy of those affected by closures has been made.
