  2. Current Consultations • Where to find the details • Consultations page on the website • www.cqc.org.uk/organisations-we-regulate/get-involved/take-part-consultation • Regulatory Fees Scheme • Consultation runs until Wednesday 28 December 2011 • Judgement Framework and Enforcement Policy • Consultation runs until Friday 9 December 2011

  3. Regulatory fees scheme consultation • The fees CQC proposes to charge providers of health and adult social care services from 1 April 2012. • These fees will cover the work to register providers and monitor compliance with the essential standards • The proposals adjust and extend the current fees scheme. There will be a further consultation next year as part of a long-term review of the fees scheme • This consultation also asks for responses to ideas about the topics that need to be considered as part of the longer term fees policy.

  4. The main fee proposals • The three main proposals for this consultation are to: • Extend the scheme to include providers of primary care OOH services entering the registration system from 1 April 2012. • Reduce the fees in the middle bandings for providers of dental and independent ambulance services. • Reduce the fee in the lowest level banding for providers of adult social care services without accommodation.

  5. Refining our regulatory model • We have listened to challenges to our regulatory model • We seek to strengthen and simplify our regulatory model to improve how we inspect and take action • Our approach will continue to be outcome-focused, responsive and risk-based but in addition we want to: • inspect most providers more often • focus our inspections on the relevant standards • take swift regulatory action to tackle non-compliance • Consultation on our proposals began in September

  6. Unannounced We do not notify providers before we carry-out inspections Timely At least once a year or once every two years depending on the provider Flexible We can use different types of inspection to respondto concerns Focused Inspections will focus on outcomes that are important to people using services New approach to inspection Principles of inspection

  7. Consultation • Judgement Framework and Enforcement Policy • Providers of services continue to be responsible for ensuring that their services meet essential standards • Providers will be either compliant or non-compliant • Non-compliance means that providers are failing to meet one or more of the essential standards • The action we take will match the level of impact (minor, moderate or major impact on people using the service) • Regulatory action and Enforcement action – what’s the difference?
