answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/03/2022 answer text <p>The Care Quality Commission (CQC) publishes data on locations that were previously regulated by the CQC and have since been deactivated. A location can be deactivated for several reasons and does not mean that the service has closed in every instance. For example, it may have re-registered due to changes in its legal structure or its address.</p><p> </p><p>The following table below shows the number of care home deactivations in England in each year from 2019 to January 2022.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Year of deactivation</p></td><td><p>Total number of care home deactivations</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2019</p></td><td><p>544</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2020</p></td><td><p>426</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2021</p></td><td><p>486</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2022</p></td><td><p>52</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p>Note:</p><p>A nursing home is a ‘care home service with nursing’ and a residential home is a ‘care home without nursing’. A care home location which has both service types is also classified as a nursing home.</p><p> </p><p>The figures provided represent the number of care homes that have deactivated excluding locations that have a published 'successor' organisation where the service continues, but under new registration due to a legal entity change or a change in the provider. It may take several months for a ’successor’ location to be published following a location deactivating and a new location activating. Under the Care Act 2014, local authorities also have a temporary duty to ensure continuity of care if a provider fails or exits the market.</p><p> </p><p>No specific assessment has been made of the impact of care home closures on the health and wellbeing of residents.</p> answering member printed Lord Kamall question first answered 07/03/2022 14:10:54 answering member 4909 label Biography information for Lord Kamall

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of reports of an attack on 21 March on Kessab in northern Syria; whether they have made any estimate of the number of those killed in the attack and of those who have fled the town as a result; whether they have received any reports about the desecration of churches in the town; and what assessment they have made of the possible involvement of the Al-Nusra Front and the Islamic State of Iraq and Sham in the attack.
tabling member printed	Lord Alton of Liverpool
uin	HL6490
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/04/2014 answer text <p>We are concerned by the reports of violence in Kessab, although it is impossible to establish an accurate figure of the numbers of people who have been killed or displaced. We believe that the majority of the ethnic Armenian population of the town has left, along with many other Syrians, because of the fighting in the area. We have not received any confirmed reports of churches being desecrated and we call for all places of worship to be respected. We understand that a range of groups has been involved in the fighting, including the Al-Nusrah Front. We urge all sides to the conflict in Syria to respect international humanitarian law and the rights of all Syrians. Both the Syrian National Coalition and the Free Syrian Army have repeatedly made clear their commitment to protecting all civilians, regardless of religious, ethnic and political affiliation.</p> answering member printed Baroness Warsi question first answered 09/04/2014 12:00:00 answering member 3839 label Biography information for Baroness Warsi
