| Annotation | The National Care Standards Commission (NCSC) was established by Government through the Care Standards Act 2000 and came into operation on l April 2002. It is a non-departmental public body accountable to Parliament through the Secretary of State for Health. NCSC regulates social care and private and voluntary healthcare services in England only and encourages improvement in the quality of those services. NCSC's responsibilities are extensive; it has replaced about 230 local and health authority inspection units and taken over the regulation of voluntary children's homes, previously the responsibility of the Department of Health and Social Services Inspectorate (SSI, DH). This report then is of the body's first year of operation to provide a single, independent authority to ensure a consistent approach to protecting and improving quality for service users in social care and independent healthcare.
