| Annotation | The health and adult social care system continues to struggle with increasingly complex demand, and its future is seen as precarious. Despite such challenges, the quality of care has been maintained, and most of us are receiving good, safe care. Many services that were previously rated inadequate have recognised previous Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspection findings, made the necessary changes, and improved. Part 1 of this annual report describes a health and care system that is at full stretch. Given an ageing population with increasingly complex health conditions, the ability to meet this demand is under severe pressure. Such is the case in the adult social care sector, where capacity continues to shrink. Part 2 considers the sectors regulated by the CQC: adult social care; hospitals, community health services and ambulance services; mental health; primary medical services; equality in health and social care; and the Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards. Reports since 2010 can be found on the National Archives website (http://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/*/http:/... (RH). |
