Consultation: a new start

This consultation asks for feedback by the 12th August 2013 on the
CQC plans for: inspecting all care services, NHS trusts and foundation
trusts and independent acute hospitals; developing clear standards of
care; making better use of information and evidence received;
introducing Chief Inspectors to lead national teams of expert
inspectors; developing a ratings system to help people choose between
services and to encourage services to make improvements; and making sure
that directors or leaders of organisations have made legal commitments
to provide safe and high-quality care, and are personally held to
account for it.
