The
first
question
is
around:
when
will
this
start
to
feel
real
with
the
assessment
framework,
with
our
oversight
of
local
authority
assurance
and
systems.
C
Thank
you,
kate
and
good
morning,
everyone
so
for
our
work
with
systems.
So
when
we're
going
to
start
to
when
we're
going
to
start
to
assess
integrated
care
systems
and
local
authorities
that
will
commence
from
april
2023
so
between
now
and
then
we
are
doing,
like
you
said,
kate,
we're
doing
lots
of
work
with
a
whole
range
of
different
colleagues
and
partners
across
the
the
system.
C
So
what
we
will
be
doing
is
we're
going
to
be
doing
some
piloting
over
the
next
couple
of
months
as
well,
to
really
start
to
think
about
our
methodology,
for
when
we
regulate
the
integrated
care
systems
and
local
authority
and
working
with
particular
local
authorities
and
integrated
care
systems,
so
that
we
can
really
test
out
whether
that
methodology
is
going
to
work.
So
so
it
will
come
into
place
from
april
20,
23.
B
Rob
thanks,
kate.
So
the
next
question
is
around
inspections
and
our
prioritization
of
inspections.
So
lots
of
people
are
asking
you
know.
When
will
we
start
getting
re-rated
from
ri
to
good
and
what
about
us
outstanding
providers?
One
more.
They
start
to
be
rated
to
confirm
that
that
rating
is
still
current,
so
still
applicable.
D
Yes,
good
morning,
so
while
we
are
still
working
with
our
current
methodology,
we
are,
as
kate
has
already
described,
starting
to
really
think
carefully
about
how
we
re-rate
services
and
that's
not
just
services
that
are
requires
improvement
or
indeed
inadequate.
We
also
want
to
look
to
good
and
outstanding
services
as
well,
so
that
we've
got
a
real
mixture
of
services
and
a
real
balance
of
services
across
all
of
the
quality
indicators.
D
It's
quite
difficult
to
give
time
scales
on
that,
because,
obviously
we're
having
to
prioritize
all
the
time,
depending
on
the
information
that
is
coming
in,
depending
on
the
risk
that
might
be
in
a
particular
area,
but
we
are
committed
to
making
sure
that
we
start
to
do
that
immediately
and-
and
so
we
are
already
starting
to
think
about
how
we
can
use
every
opportunity
of
crossing
the
threshold
to
assess
and
to
review
and
and
re-rate
the
service.
B
Latoya
and
just
to
carry
on
on
the
theme
of
inspections
are
the
club,
other
chloe,
so
the
key
lines
of
inquiries
are
they
still
valid,
and
when
will
we
start
to
transition
into
the
assessment
framework.
E
Sure
so,
as
as
sue
said,
we're
still
using
the
existing
model
through
to
probably
april
of
next
year,
so
they
are
still
valid,
and
what
we'll
do
is
to
help
you
understand
the
transition
we'll
set
out
how
those
key
lines
of
inquiry
have
been
morphed
and
developed
into
the
quality
statements
and
into
the
evidence,
categories
that
that
that
kate
talked
about
so
it'll
be
clear
to
you
as
to
how
that
alignment
works,
and
I
think
an
important
point
to
make
is
stepping
into
this
new
approach
doesn't
mean
we
have
to
go
out
and
do
a
whole
program
of
comprehensive
assessment
to
start
again
we're
very
much
building
on
on
what
we've
been
doing.
E
It's
just
we're
trying
to
do
things
in
a
much
clearer,
more
transparent
and
more
consistent
way
so
april
of
next
year
is
the
kind
of
the
date
we're
working
to
to
to
start
to
roll
out
the
new
model.
B
And
just
so,
we've
had
a
few
questions
about
our
monitoring,
approach
and
kind
of
wanting
to
be
a
bit
more
clearer
about
what
that
consists
of
and
kind
of.
What
will
will
the
focus
always
be
on
kind
of
the
digital
inspections,
or
will
providers
start
to
feel
a
bit
more
of
that
kind
of
on-site
and
being
able
to
show
you
know
the
improvements
that
have
been
made
with
the
inspectors.
A
Yes,
so
I
I
hope,
as
I
convey
during
the
presentation,
on-site
inspection
observation
will
remain
a
really
critical
tool
of
ours,
but
we
want
to
supplement
that
with
much
more
updated
information
that
we
receive
from
people
who
get
in
touch
with
us.
I'm
casting
my
eyes
through
some
of
the
comments
and
things
such
as
someone
asked
about
how
do
we
work
with
local
authority
quality
teams?
Well,
that
is
useful
intelligence.
We
need
to
be
using.
A
How
do
we
use
information
we
get
from
give
feedback
on
care
to
inform
our
view
of
quality
and
risk
etc.
So
there
are
a
huge
number
of
sources
that
give
us
information
about
services
and
we
want
to
have
the
ability
to
provide
that
updated
view
to
providers
and
to
the
public
much
more
rapidly
than
we
do
now.
But
on-site
inspection
remains
a
really
key
part
of
how
we
will
work
going
forward.
B
Thanks,
kate
and
then
one
of
the
most
liked
questions
is
a
three-parter,
so
I'll
take
it
in
bits
as
we
go
along
sorry.
So
the
first
part
of
the
question
is
what
has
cqc
learned
over
the
last
two
years
of
the
pandemic,
and
how
will
you
put
into
practice
going
forward.
A
Okay,
that's
a
that's
a
big
one.
I
think
I
think
we've
all
learned
a
huge,
a
huge
amount.
I
don't
think
any
anyone
who's
been
through
the
last
two
years
hasn't
learned
personally
professionally,
learn
different
ways
of
how
we
run
our
respective
businesses.
A
So
I
I
think
I
think
we
have
learned
that
there
are
ways
that
we
can
work,
that
don't
need
us
to
to
be
on
site
while
noting
that
there
will
always
be
a
critical
role
for
that.
So
one
of
the
ways
we
adapted
our
way
of
working
through
the
pandemic
is
we
work
with
the
uk.
Oh,
it
was
the
uk
home
care
association,
it's
now
the
home
care
association
to
pilot
whether
we
could
form
a
view
of
quality
and
risk
for
people
receiving
home
care
without
visiting
their
office.
A
So
instead
of
my
inspectors,
traveling
to
a
an
office
that
could
be,
you
know
somewhere
on
an
industrial
state
what
if
they
spent
that
time
having
zoom
team
calls
speaking
with
people
who
received
care
of
their
own
homes,
speaking
with
staff
virtually
and
that
we
were
all,
I
think
we
all
went
into
it.
I
think
our
natural
starting
point
is:
we
want
to
see
things
in
person.
I
think
particularly
for
home
care.
A
A
What
how
we
could
review
policies,
how
we
could
be
assured
on
a
whole
wealth
of
things
that
meant
that
when
we
visited
a
place,
we
spent
that
time
talking
to
people
talking
to
staff,
observing
care
rather
than
visiting,
visiting
a
place
to
spend
you
know
an
hour
or
two
sat
in
an
office
flicking
through
files.
I
think
that
probably
there's
many
things
I
can
say,
but
that
might
be
the
the
main
thing
I'd
say:
latoya.
B
Thanks,
kate,
so
the
next
one-
and
this
one
relates
to
a
lot
of
other
questions
that
have
been
asked
is
around
staffing.
Obviously,
there's
a
massive
significant
issues
around
staffing
across
all
health
and
social
care.
But
how
are
cpc
going
to
take
this
into
consideration
when
going
out
to
on-site
inspections
and
during
our
monitoring,
calls
and
other
observations.
A
So
if
I
can
just
briefly
talk
about
what
we
are
doing
in
terms
of
highlighting
the
issue
of
staffing
and
then
either
rob
or
sue,
if
we
could
talk
about
what
that
means
for
how
we
make
judgments
so
so
we
are
acutely
aware
of
the
I
mean
it's
been
an
issue
for
forever,
but
particularly
through
the
pandemic,
the
increasing
challenge
around
recruitment
and
retention,
and
we
have
been
publishing
monthly
updates,
so
home
care,
so
care
home
providers
have
been
submitting
provider
information
returns
and
we've
been
able
to
show
that
back.
A
In
april
of
last
year,
vacancy
rates
and
care
homes
were
at
six
percent
they're.
Now
at
11.5,
so
we've
been
able
to
share
that.
We've
also
been
able
to
share
the
information.
A
We
have
the
notifications
in
which
staffing
issues
affect
impact
on
the
quality
of
care
delivered
and
that
could
be
in
any
setting
and
we
were
able
to
demonstrate,
particularly
in
november
and
december
and
january,
and
it's
kind
of
set
up
a
bit
back
down
now
how
how
there
was
a
significant
increase
in
in
workforce
affecting
providers
ability
to
provide
continuity
of
care,
and
then
finally,
we've
been
looking
at
when
providers
exit
the
market,
be
that
any
and
any
social
care
provider
and
we've
been
asking
them
what
has
prompted
their
their
their
leaving
the
sector
and
people
might
think
money
would
be
number
one.
A
But
actually
those
conversations
today
have
been
showing
that
workforce
has
been
pipping
money
as
the
main
reason
that
providers
are
no
longer
able
to
stay,
delivering
care
and
again
our
interest
in
that.
So
we
have
two
areas
of
interest
in
particular
in
workforce,
which
is
one
how
workforce
impacts
on
quality
and
to
how
workforce
impacts
on
the
stability
as
a
sector.
C
Yes,
no,
I
was
just
going
to
say
that
you
know
it's
really
important,
that
we
understand
the
context
that
providers
are
working
in
and
the
extreme
difficulties
with
workforce,
and
it
is
a
huge
challenge.
If
you've
as
you've
said
kate,
we
always
need
to
think
about
what
this
means
for
people
and
the
impact
upon
that
care.
So
that's,
ultimately
our
primary
responsibility
to
think
about
how
people
are
being
supported.
So
we
always
need
to
consider
that.
C
It's
just
really
important
that
if
providers
are
struggling,
that
they
speak
to
cqc,
so
they
speak
to
their
inspector,
they
let
us
know
and
that
they
tell
us
about
what
plans
they're
putting
in
place
to
try
and
resolve
issues,
how
they're
seeking
support
from
the
the
local
authority
and
from
other
partner
agencies
that
may
be
able
to
support
as
well
that's
really
important
and
how
they
can
perhaps
work
with
with
other
providers
as
well,
when
there
are
particular
difficulties
as
well.
C
B
Thanks
rob
so
just
another
bit
of
a
two-parter
around
local
authorities
and
their
ability
to
kind
of
understand
and
commission
care.
So
the
first
part
of
the
question
is:
what
what
do
we
envision
is
going
to
be
kind
of
our
approach
to
making
sure
that
local
authorities
deliver
a
fair
cost
of
care
to
to
and
in
that
way,
like
increasing
fees?
B
How
are
we
going
to
support
support
with
that,
so
that
providers
are
able
to
deliver
high
quality
care.
C
Thank
you
thanks
dave,
I
mean
this
will
be
absolutely
something
that
we
will
look
at.
So
when
we
start
to
do
our
assessments,
we
will
be
looking
at
commissioning
and
leadership
that
you
know
the
two
go
hand
in
hand,
so
we'll
be
looking
at
and
I've
seen
some
other
questions
that
have
popped
up,
so
how
how
providers
will
be
supported.
C
So
we
will
be
looking
at
what
the
current
commissioning
arrangements
are
in
place,
but
also
thinking
about
how
the
local
authority
is
working
with
other
partners
as
well
to
really
think
about
what
the
needs
of
people
in
their
local
area
are.
What
the
needs
are
for
particular
people
from
from
different
communities.
C
How
are
they
developing
and
shaping
services
at
this
moment
in
time,
but
also?
How
are
they
thinking
about
how
perhaps
their
demographics
and
their
population
needs
are
going
to
change
over
a
given
period
of
time
and
what
they
are
thinking
about
for
the
future
as
well,
and
really
how
they're
evolving
people
who
use
services
working
with
providers
working
with
all
of
the
other
partner
agencies,
to
really
think
about?
C
What
is
the
range
of
support
that
is
being
provided
to
people
and
what
do
we
need
to
develop
in
the
future
and
then
in
terms
of
the
charging
reform
I
mean
that
is
certainly
something
that
we
will
be
looking
at.
We
will
be
able
to
make
any
decisions
or
say
to
the
local
authorities.
C
You
must
do
this,
but
what
we
will
be
able
to
do-
and
this
is
really
important
in
our
independent
voice
role-
we
will
be
in
the
unique
position
that
once
we
start
to
do
those
assessments
of
the
local
authorities
we'll
be
able
to
see
what's
happening
both
in
regional
areas
and
national
areas
and
we'll
be
able
to
report
on
that
back
to
parliament,
so
that
that
feedback
from
providers
and
from
other
partner
agencies
around
those
issues
are
really
being
reported
back
and
then
can
hopefully
be
acted
upon.
B
C
Thank
you
that
that's
a
great
question
and
that's
actually
something
that
we're
working
on
at
this
very
moment
in
time.
So
so
we're
starting
to
think
so.
As
we've
said,
we're
starting
this
in
just
over
a
year's
time
in
april
23
and
we're
already
starting
to
think
about
what
teams
do
we
need
in
place
who,
from
cqc,
will
be
involved
in
this
work,
and
it
won't
just
be
inspectors.
It
will
be
a
range
of
colleagues
as
well.
C
So
it'll
be
our
policy
colleagues,
it
will
be
our
analysts
and
we
will
all
they
will
all
need
to
have
specific
skills.
So
we're
already
starting
to
think
about
what
training
and
development
needs
and
our
colleagues
will
have-
and
we
will
be
certainly
working
on
that
as
we
approach
april
2023
we're
already
working
with
some
sector
specialists.
C
So
we
have
a
a
senior
advisor,
so
a
man
called
paul
nazarik
and
up
until
very
recently
he
was
the
chief
executive
of
healing
council
and
he's
working
with
us
and
we're
really
using
his
wealth
of
knowledge
around
how
we
can
really
understand
what
the
contemporary
issues
are
within
that
local
authorities
are
grappling
with
and
how
we
can
then
bring
that
into
our
training
and
development
of
colleagues
and
we're
also
thinking
about
when
we
get
to
the
point.
B
Thanks
rob
so
the
next
question
is
going
to
be
around
systems.
B
This
person
is
particularly
asked
around
discharge
processes,
but
I
think,
from
a
wider
perspective,
how
would
the
adult
social
care
voice
be
kind
of
heard
in
the
integrated
care
systems
processes
that
we're
going
to
go
the
oversight
powers
that
will
that
we
potentially
have
and
this
person?
Yes
they've,
asked
around
discharge
processes
and
how
that
will
be
affected
in
people's
writing
choices.
So
yeah.
C
I'm
happy
to
to
answer
that
one
as
well
again,
a
really
great
question.
So
thank
you
for
that,
and
I
think
it's
just
really
important
when
kate
was
talking
about
the
system.
Work
that
we're
going
to
be
doing
the
local
authorities
will
actually
be
part
of
the
integrated
care
systems
as
well.
So
it's
really
really.
They
are
very
interdependent
on
each
other.
C
So
when
we
look
to
do
our
local
authority
assurance
work,
we
will
be
very
much
thinking
about
well.
How
are
they
working
with
providers?
How
are
they
working
with
nhs
colleagues?
What
are
the
key
issues
within
that
particular
area,
and
we
all
know
that
hospital
discharge
and
throughput
through
a
hospital
is
a
key
issue,
so
that
is
absolutely
something
that
we
will
be
will
be.
You
know
looking
at,
but
we'll
also
look
at
it
when
we're
actually
doing
those
assessments,
but
we're
also
sitting
on
a
gold
mine
of
information
in
cqc
as
well.
C
So
we
do
all
of
the
inspections
of
the
hospital
trusts
of
all
of
the
adult
social
care
locations
of
all
of
the
the
gp
practices
and
within
as
we're
developing
our
methodology
and
as
kate
has
talked
about
really
starting
to
think
about
how
people
are
receiving
support
across
all
of
the
different
services
will
use
the
information
and
intelligence
and
the
care
home
providers
are
telling
them
where
there's
issues
and
we'll
be
able
to
really
focus
on
that.
B
Thanks
rob
and
moving
kind
of
back
to
our
current
practices,
around
inspections
and
the
processes
from
start
to
finish,
when
you're
newly
registering,
how
would
the
experience
be
changing
for
people
that
have
just
newly
registered
with
cqc
and
but
also
currently
at
the
moment,
what
what
could
be
doing
to
address
kind
of
people
that
have
newly
registered
as
a
provider
with
the
service
and
kind
of
them
getting
inspected
like
for
the
first
time
or
reinspected?
D
Of
course,
so
we
absolutely
recognize
the
importance
of
rating
services
that
have
not
yet
had
a
rating,
and
we
know
that's
really
really
important,
and
it
was
something
that
we
were
not
able
to
do
as
frequently
as
we
wanted
to
do
during
the
pandemic.
D
So
it
is
part
of
our
priorities
at
this
very
moment
in
time,
as
I
say,
using
the
current
methodology
again
with
other
types
of
services,
we
have
to
risk,
assess
and
prioritize
within
an
area
and,
for
example,
a
service
that
has
been
registered
but
not
been
rated
for
longer
is
going
to
have
an
inspection
sooner,
so
we're
going
to
obviously
going
to
give
that
priority,
and
we
would
also
give
priority
to
a
service.
Maybe
that
has
not
had
a
rating,
and
maybe
we've
had
information
of
concern.
E
And
if
I
could
just
add
to
that
in
terms
of
the
future
model,
we
recognize
as
there's
currently
a
bit
of
a
gap
between
registration,
new
registration
and
and
rating
an
assessment,
and
we
definitely
want
to
close
that
gap.
So
what
we
are
doing
through
the
single
assessment
framework
through
really
clear
evidence,
requirements
that
kate
set
out,
we
can
actually
start
building
that
assessment
from
registration
so
that
if
we've
looked
at
policies
and
procedures
on
registration,
we
don't
necessarily
need
to
then
go
and
look
at
them
again.
E
In
order
to
start
building
that
rating
we've
done
that
work,
the
teams
have
been
much
more
closely
aligned.
So
actually
we
can.
We
can
build
on
that
from
that
first
point
of
registration
right
through
to
the
actual
confirmation
of
the
rating,
so
we're
actually
getting
a
head
start
really
on
that
work
as
part
of
the
future
model.
B
Yes,
definitely,
I
think
so.
The
next
I
guess
question
or
two
will
be
around
our
current
practices
and
reducing
burden
on
providers.
We've
had
a
lot
of
questions
kind
of
asking
to
address
the
the
stresses
that
providers
of
andre
at
the
moment
and
that
and
they
want
to
know
what
efforts
cqc
are
making
to
to
kind
of
reduce
burden
on.
I
guess
submitting
information
data
or
just
generally
how
we
want
how
we're
going
to
maybe
be
approaching
and
be
more
and
understanding
of
of
their
current
situation.
A
Okay,
who
wants
to
kick
off
with
that?
I've
seen
a
few
questions
about
provider,
information
returns
and
and
and
whatnot
I
mean
our
whole.
Our
whole
ambition
is
to
make
sure
we
use
all
the
information
that's
available
as
effectively
as
possible
and
that
you're
not
asked
to
duplicate
information,
but
I
I
I
see
from
the
comments
in
the
chat
there
is.
There
is
frustration
about
that.
Does
anyone
want
to
talk
dave?
Do
you
want
to
talk
a
bit
about
what
it
might
look
like
in
terms
of
how
we
use
data?
E
Yes,
certainly
I
mean,
and
and
first
off
that's
that
was
the
original
inspiration
really
for
the
single
assessment
framework.
E
Recognizing
that
providers
are
commissioned
by
different
authorities
might
have
different
need
to
share
the
same
information
slightly
differently
for
different
audiences,
so
we're
really
trying
to
convene
the
whole
health
and
social
care
sector
into
one
shared
space
here,
so
that
actually
we
can
collect
once
and
share
many
times
and
absolutely
what
we're
trying
to
do
through
our
through
the
enhancements,
we're
looking
to
make
through
the
the
way
that
our
processes
work,
but
also
the
way
that
rit
works
is
actually.
E
It
will
feel
much
more
like
a
a
smooth
running
service
for
providers
and
service
is
a
word
that
I
I
definitely
want
to
emphasize
there.
That
is
the
approach
that
we're
doing
we're.
Looking.
How
can
we
develop
our
registration
service?
How
can
we
develop
our
regis,
our
assessment
service,
so
that
it
is
easy,
as
a
byproduct
of
just
you
doing
what
you're
doing
as
providers?
Actually
we
can.
We
can
access
the
information
that
we
need
and
in
a
way
that
is
easy
for
you
to
share
part
of
that
will
be.
E
How
can
we
essentially
lift
information
out
of
digital
care
management
systems
which,
around
about
a
third
of
social
care
providers,
are
currently
using,
and
that
would
lift
we
think
quite
a
lot
of
burden
from
providers.
We
can
actually
just
get
that
insight
from
from
those
systems,
but
we
also
want
to
look
at
other
ways.
I'm
really
keen
to
get
any
other
ideas
from
you
as
to
how
we
can
streamline
and
really
and
really
kind
of,
reduce
that
that
regulatory
burden,
wherever
we
can.
B
Yes,
so
saved
the
best
to
last,
hopefully
ending
on
a
bit
of
a
positive
note.
How
will
cqc
promote
and
celebrate
innovation.
A
So
the
fact
that
we
have
one
of
our
four
pillars
around
accelerating
improvement-
I
hope,
indicates
our
our
ambition
to
really
highlight
best
practice
and
encourage
other
providers
to
adopt
that.
What's
been
tough
for
everyone
over
the
last
years,
many
things,
but
one
of
the
things
is
it's
the
focus
on
on
risk
and
the
need
to
get
out
to
services
that
we're
worried
about.
A
We
want
to
move
back
to
a
much
more
much
more
variety,
where
we
can
also
be
getting
out
to
our
standing
homes
to
homes
that
are
confident
that
we
would
find
outstanding
practice
if
our
inspectors
went
out
and
spent
a
bit
of
time
with
them,
and
we
want
to
do
that
because
our
strategic
goal
is
about
driving
improvement
and
looking
at
innovation,
and
we
can
only
do
that
if
we're
sitting
and
we're
seeing
it
and
publicizing
it
so
that
best
practice
can
can
also
be
shared,
so
watch
his
space.
A
I
am
really
hopeful
that
in
the
coming
months
there
will
be
an
increasing
emphasis
on
re-rating,
but
also
getting
getting
back
out
there
to
look
at
the
you
know
the
wealth
of
best
practice.
That
is
also
happening,
whilst
providers
are
juggling
a
huge
amount
of
kind
of
turmoil
and
challenges
as
well.
A
So
thank
you
very
much
latoya
for
that
really
difficult
job
of
juggling
250
questions
and
I'm
sure
there
will
be
people
on
the
call
who
are
frustrated
that
this
hasn't
haven't
been
answered,
but
you've
done
a
great
job
at
drawing
out
the
ones
I
think,
with
most
likes
and
and
ones
and
grouping
together
themes.
So,
and
thank
you
so
much
for
your
your
questions
and
your
engagement.
As
I
said
at
the
top
of
the
call,
we
will
be
sharing
this
webinar
on
our
youtube
channel.
A
We
will
be
making
the
slides
available
and
there
are
many
ways
to
get
involved
if
this
is,
as
I
say
whether
your
appetite
and
you
really
want
to
help
us
think
about
our
thinking
about
local
authority
assurance
or
you,
you
know-
want
to
get
involved
with
a
pilot
for
the
new
single
assessment
framework
for
providers
or
whatnot.
So
a
massive
thank
you
for
your
your
time
and
engagement
today.
I
hope
you
found
it
useful.
A
Give
us
give
us
feedback
as
to
how
this
has
landed
with
you,
and
we
look
forward
to
many
more
conversations
over
the
next
12
months
as
we
as
we
stand
up
on
our
new
approach
to
regulation
from
april
23..
So
at
this
point
we
will
end
the
webinar
and
I
wish
you
a
good
good
rest
of
your
day.
Thanks
all.
