The consultation document, ‘Our next phase of regulation: A more targeted, responsive and collaborative approach’, follows the CQC strategy for 2016 to 2021, published in May 2016, which sets out an ambitious vision for a more targeted, responsive and collaborative approach to regulation, so that more people get high-quality care. CQC want your views on a number of proposals for implementing the five-year strategy. These proposals are aimed at achieving:
- A more integrated approach that enables us to be flexible and responsive to changes in care provision
- A more targeted approach that focuses on areas of greatest concern, such as safety, and where there have been improvements in quality
- A greater emphasis on leadership, including at the level of overall accountability for quality of care
- Closer working and alignment with NHS Improvement and other partners so that providers experience less duplication.
