Decision details

The Executive will be asked to consider the grading awarded by the Care Quality Commission after their annual inspection of Adult Social Care Services for the year 2008-09

The Corporate Director of Adult and Community Services presented a report on the Care Quality Commission’s (CQC) annual performance assessment of the Council’s adult social care services for 2008/9, which received an overall rating of “excellent” across the seven outcome areas.  Together with the report was the Council’s Annual Review Meeting submission which formed part of the assessment along with the CQC’s Annual Performance Assessment Report and Letter for 2008/9.

The Corporate Director advised that the Council has now received the CQC’s highest possible rating for the past three years and is recognised in the report published on 3 December 2009 as one of only six Councils London-wide and only 11 from across the country to be demonstrating overall improvements.

Agreed, in line with reporting and publishing requirements, to:

  (i)  Note the CQC’s Annual Performance Assessment Report 2008/9 in respect of the Council’s adult social care services; and

  (ii)  Place on record our congratulations to all staff within the service.
