Health & Social Care

The annual evaluation report provides an updated assessment of the social and economic impact of the Rotherham Social Prescribing Service between September 2012 and March 2015 

What is this consultation asking people to comment on?

We are asking for people's views on whether our updated Code of practice provides a consistent and lawful approach to obtaining, using, disclosing and handling confidential personal information across all areas of CQC's work. We are asking whether the Code of practice is clear and easy to follow, and fully explains why and how we may need to use people's confidential personal information, and whether it reassures people that by following this Code, their information will be handled safely and appropriately at all times.

The Care Quality Commission (CQC) is also asking for views on its proposed approach to using data, which will support a risk-based approach to regulation. In turn, this will support a more targeted and tailored inspection programme that allows CQC to inspect services rated good and outstanding less frequently and to lend greater support to those performing less well.
