The Care Quality Commission has come under fire for failing to recruit inspectors despite asking the Department of Health for an extra £15m to investigate problems more thoroughly.
CQC chair Dame Jo Williams told the Commons health committee last week that the regulator’s budget needed a 10 per cent boost to ensure breaches in compliance standards were spotted.The CQC had about 350 unfilled vacancies, of which 121 were for inspectors.Committee chair Stephen Dorrell added: “Can you not understand people might think this is a more urgent priority than the registration of dentists and that there’s a problem of priorities within the CQC?”
