State of Care 2021/22
The annual CQC assessment of the state of health and social care in England has published.
“State of Care looks at the quality of care over the past year.
This year's report focuses on cross-cutting themes rather than sector-specific findings, however we do highlight that, at 31 July 2022:
83% of adult social care services were rated as good or outstanding.96% of GP practices were rated as good or outstanding.75% of NHS acute core services were rated as good or outstanding.77% of all mental health core services (NHS and independent) were rated as good our outstanding.
Based on our inspection activity, information received from the public and those who deliver care alongside other evidence, our overall assessment is that the health and care system is gridlocked and unable to operate effectively. “
