The Care Quality Commission (CQC) is an executive non-departmental public body of the Department of Health. It was established in 2009 to regulate and inspect health and social care services in England. It was formed from three predecessor organisations: *the Healthcare Commission *the Commission for Social Care Inspection (CSCI) *the Mental Health Act Commission (MHAC) The CQC's stated role is to make sure that hospitals, care homes, dental and general practices and other care services in England provide people with safe, effective and high-quality care, and to encourage them to improve. It carries out this role through checks it carries out during the registration process all new care services must complete, inspections and monitoring of a range of data sources that can indicate problems with services. Part of the commission's remit is protecting the interests of people whose rights have been restricted under the Mental Health Act. ==History== Until 31 March 2009, regulation of health and adult social care in England was carried out by the Healthcare Commission and the Commission for Social Care Inspection. The Mental Health Act Commission had monitoring functions with regard to the operation of the Mental Health Act 1983. The commission was established as a single, integrated regulator for England's health and adult social care services by the Health and Social Care Act 2008 to replace these three bodies. The Commission was created in shadow form on 1 October 2008 and began operating on 1 April 2009. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Care Quality Commission」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
