To improve the quality of adult social care, the Government has introduced a tough system of Care Quality Commission (CQC) ratings, new qualifications for care workers and new standards to ensure that everyone receives the highest quality support.<\/p>
<\/p>
The CQC thoroughly inspects each service and if they found poor quality in any area including Wolverhampton has powers to close those that do not improve and take tough action against owners. This inspection regime is playing a key role in driving up the quality of care. As of July 2017 the CQC rates 79% of adult social care services as good or outstanding.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Care Act 2014 placed a duty on local authorities in England to promote a diverse, sustainable, high quality market of care and support providers for people in their local area to meet those needs. The Department has published statutory guidance to support local authorities in their market shaping duties.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4065", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Dame Jackie Doyle-Price"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Thurrock"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Jackie Doyle-Price"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2017-11-21", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2017-11-21T17:32:27.363Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "17"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Health"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Health"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2017-11-16", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Social Services: Wolverhampton"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what recent assessment his Department has made of the adequacy of the provision of adult social care in Wolverhampton.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4077", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Emma Reynolds"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Wolverhampton North East"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Emma Reynolds"} ], "uin" : "113537"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/790981", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department of Health"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/790981/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

We have taken several steps to help secure a strong and sustainable social care system, including the Budget announcement of an extra £2 billion in funding. Taken together, Government funding decisions since 2015 will give councils access to £9.25 billion more dedicated funding for social care over the next three years.<\/p>

Data on breastfeeding in the United Kingdom is recorded in the Maternity Services Data Set which collects and reports data from providers of maternity services, including breastfeeding initiation. Data on breastfeeding status at six to eight weeks is reported through the Children and Young People\u2019s Health Services Data Set. In addition, Public Health England presents data on factors related to conception, pregnancy and delivery, including breastfeeding profiles in their Fingertips site; these indicators show performance against a range of indicators describing demographic, breastfeeding behaviours and health outcome data for mothers and their children.<\/p>
