The Health and Care Act 2022 creates a new duty for the Care Quality Commission (CQC) to review local authorities’ performance in discharging their adult social care functions under the Care Act 2014.

As part of the Council’s preparations for these new arrangements, a Local Government Association (LGA) Peer Challenge was arranged and this report sets out the findings of the review and how the learning will be used to ensure the Council is best placed to achieve a positive outcome from a Care Quality Commission review.

The Director of Adult Social Care and the Interim CQC Preparation Lead presented a report, a copy of which had been circulated to each Member and a copy of which appears as Appendix 'D' to these Minutes in the Minute Book.
