All providers of regulated activities, including those in the private sector, must register with the Care Quality Commission, and follow a set of fundamental standards of safety and quality, below which care should never fall.</p><p>The Care Quality Commission also has a duty under the Mental Health Act 1983 to monitor how services exercise their powers and discharge their duties under the act when patients are detained in hospital or are subject to community treatment orders or guardianship.</p> answering member constituency Lewes answering member printed Maria Caulfield question first answered 20/05/2024 17:05:21 answering member 4492 label Biography information for Maria Caulfield
