answer text <p>The Care Quality Commission (CQC) is the independent regulator of health and adult social care in England. The CQC is responsible for developing and consulting on its methodology for assessing whether providers are meeting the registration requirements.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Following feedback from national and local stakeholders, and working with NHS England, on 5 December the CQC completed a comprehensive review of the general practitioner (GP) intelligent monitoring (IM) data and, as a result, made a number of changes to the IM tool. Concerns were identified with five indicators. The first of these was an indicator about the ability to get a GP appointment, which has consequently been removed from GP IM. Separately, and also after publication, NHS England advised the CQC about concerns with the data that NHS England had provided for four indicators. For three, revisions were needed to the indicator construction to align with other NHS England publications, and for the remaining one there was a data error. Following the discovery of the mistakes, the CQC’s approach has been to apologise, to address the problem, and learn lessons to prevent a repeat occurrence.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The CQC is now reviewing the quality assurance of all of its outward facing analyses to ensure any necessary actions are taken to prevent a recurrence of the mistakes made. An internal audit by the CQC is also in the process of being commissioned.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p>

answer text <p>The specifications for each franchise take into account future plans for upgrading and improving the network during the expected life of the new franchises. The Department for Transport also conducts public consultations when developing the specifications contained within the Invitations to Tender (ITTs) for each competition to ensure that they take account of other factors and reflect the needs of passengers. We have followed this approach for the current TransPennine Express franchise and expect to continue to do so for future competitions including those for any future TransPennine Express franchise, to ensure that franchises continue to deliver for passengers and taxpayers.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The Care Quality Commission (CQC) is the independent regulator of health and adult social care in England. The CQC has provided the following information.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The CQC published its first round of Intelligent Monitoring for general practices on 17 November 2014. Intelligent Monitoring analyses a range of indicators (including surveys and official statistics) to create priority bands for inspection. The bandings are then used to help inform where the CQC prioritise its inspections. The CQC will also use the indicators to raise questions about the quality of care; they will not be used on their own to make final judgements about the quality of care.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The CQC informed all providers of the launch of general practitioner Intelligent Monitoring with an email that was sent out on 14 November 2014 (with no data included). All band 1 GP practices received a separate email on 14 November 2014 informing them that they were in the highest priority band for inspection.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The CQC engaged with approximately 400 GP practices prior to the launch of GP Intelligent Monitoring, including sharing the data and hosting a series of meetings. A national media release was sent out on the morning of 17 November.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The CQC will listen and respond to concerns raised by GP practices. The CQC’s formal appeals processes are for the regulatory judgements the CQC makes and Intelligent Monitoring, is not a regulatory judgement. This comparative information is already in the public domain and known to the practice. The CQC publish this information to be open and transparent about what it knows about providers.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The CQC plans to update this information every three months so that it can continue to respond to issues as they emerge and to share these with providers and the public. The CQC will be undertaking additional testing and engagement to continually improve indicators to inform this work, and will align its definitions of indicators as far as possible with those used by partner bodies such as NHS England and Public Health England.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Within the next two years, the CQC will have inspected and rated every general practice in England as Outstanding, Good, Requires Improvement, or Inadequate to help people make informed choices about their care and encourage improvement in quality.</p><p> </p>
