🗳️ Support Needed: Sign the Petition for Social Care Providers! 📢 If you haven't already, we’re asking you to sign a petition to Exempt all social care providers from the employer NIC increase. 📊 Why is this important? ☑️ At 10,000 signatures: The government will respond to this petition - this number has already been reached! ☑️ At 100,000 signatures: This petition will be considered for debate in Parliament. We believe that the increase in employer National Insurance will place immense pressure on the social care sector, which is already stretched thin by funding and staffing challenges. We call on the government to review this decision and exempt all social care providers from these added costs. Your voice matters! Please sign the petition and share it with others to help us reach our goal. Together, we can make a difference! 💪❤️ https://lnkd.in/d4UrC7p8

Comment from the Care Association Alliance following the publication of two reports on the CQC today.
The following is a comment by Eddy McDowall, Co-Chair of the Care Association Alliance: Two reports published today have laid bare the crisis which has overtaken the Care Quality Commission, whose job it is to ensure that health and care services in this country provide people with safe, effective, compassionate and high-quality care. Professor Sir Mike Richards’ report is a review of the CQC’s single assessment framework, and its conclusions are damning. It finds that the transformation programme for the CQC in 2013 has failed to deliver the intended benefits and has brought about major adverse consequences. Professor Richards says that as a result the CQC has been unable to fulfil its primary purpose; far fewer inspections have been carried out than in previous years; publication of inspection reports have been seriously delayed; and staff have become demoralised. Dr Penny Dash’s full independent report into the performance of the Care Quality Commission is similarly critical and finds similar failings across the organisation. The Secretary of State for Health and Social Care has today ordered action to be taken to improve the performance of the regulator and given his full support to recommendations in the reports aimed at driving urgent improvements. The Care Association Alliance, which represents care associations across England, welcomes both reports and urges the government to take swift and decisive action to improve the performance of the CQC. The key messages in these reports are extremely concerning and demonstrate that the CQC is currently failing in its important regulatory role. We are also concerned that the reports emphasise the healthcare aspect of the work of the CQC, and we urge the government and regulatory bodies to give equal prominence to social care in future. We look forward to working productively with the Care Quality Commission in the future.
