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>

CQC has outlined its commitment to working with local authorities to minimise duplication, including in adult social care, in its provider handbooks which were published on 9 October 2014. This includes CQC inspection managers having regular meetings with their assigned local authorities, attending local safeguarding meetings where relevant and also local safeguarding boards to provide an update on CQC\u2019s work annually. In addition, providers are asked to complete a CQC Provider Information Return and an evaluation form before an inspection. 79% of residential care providers responding said they had not recently been asked to provide similar information for any other purposes.<\/p>

<\/p>

CQC has organised its adult social care directorate to reflect local authority boundaries which will allow the alignment of CQC staff with local authorities for commissioning and information sharing and safeguarding.<\/p>

<\/p>

CQC\u2019s Adult Social Care inspection staff also have relationships with local clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) which enables the CCGs to update CQC on the outcomes of their contract monitoring visits as well as CQC providing the CCG with information and outcomes of recent inspections in the area.<\/p>

<\/p>

CQC anticipates that as its new methodology beds down and more services are rated, local authorities will have greater confidence in the regulatory system for adult social care and therefore reduce their activity for those services with \u2018good\u2019 and \u2018outstanding\u2019 ratings. Local authorities will always have their own contract monitoring duties to fulfil but one of the benefits of the new regulatory approach should be a minimisation of unnecessary duplication of activities. There is work underway between CQC and the Association of Directors of Adult Social Services to develop an information sharing portal.<\/p>

The provider handbooks that set out the end-to-end process, CQC\u2019s Key Lines of Enquiry and the assessment framework were published on the 9 October 2014. CQC\u2019s new approach contains ratings that provide a much finer grading of quality with services being rated outstanding, good, requires improvement or inadequate. CQC inspection reports clearly set out whether regulations have been breached or not, and the action that a provider must take to return to meeting its legal requirements.<\/p>

The Single Market encourages competition by removing barriers to trade between EU members. An increase in competition can be expected to reduce prices and increase choice for consumers, encourage firms to innovate, reallocate resources to more productive means, and boost macroeconomic performance. The European Commission have estimated that the competition and innovation impacts of the Internal Market Programme have boosted EU GDP by over 2%[1]<\/sup><\/sup>.<\/p>
