The Care Quality Commission's end-of-year report

摘要

Annual reports of organizations are very useful, they portray the activities that have been carried out and also lay out plans for the future. Trends, challenges and opportunities for the organization and the sector are also identified. Annual reports are in many respects very similar to the end of year reports that we all received at school but perhaps not as blunt. The Care Quality Commission (CQC) annual report (the report) has just been published and it provides an illuminating picture of NHS care in England with many challenges, successes and failures clearly revealed. Key sections of the report that relate to NHS health care will be discussed in this article.
