Care and Support

Proceeding contribution from Lord Lansley (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 11 July 2012. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Care and Support.

The hon. Gentleman will know that we are making resources available for HealthWatch. It also has additional powers and a remit that extends in a way that the remit of LINks never did. There is therefore a patient and care users’ voice, and a much more effective power to enter, view and report. The link of HealthWatch England to the Care Quality Commission is important. We have increased the resources of the latter. I am sure that when he sees its annual report, he will appreciate

the steps it is taking to extend its inspection more reliably on an unannounced basis, including into domiciliary care provision.
