Frequently Asked Questions on NHS, Social Care & Public Health Regulations
What did the Health and Care Act 2022 change for NHS structure?
The Act dissolved Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) and created Integrated Care Boards (ICBs) to plan and commission health services for their populations, alongside Integrated Care Partnerships (ICPs) for broader system collaboration, implemented via extensive secondary legislation.
What is the Care Quality Commission (CQC) Single Assessment Framework?
The CQC assesses health and adult social care providers across England using a single framework structured around five key questions (Safe, Effective, Caring, Responsive, Well-led) and 34 quality statements, utilizing ongoing evidence collection rather than relying solely on scheduled comprehensive on-site inspections.
How are adult social care services funded and regulated in England?
Adult social care is commissioned by local authorities under the Care Act 2014, subject to means-tested eligibility criteria for local authority funding. Care homes and domiciliary care agencies must be registered with and inspected by the CQC under the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014.
