Wes Streeting says health watchdog not fit for purpose
England's health and social care watchdog requires substantial overhaul and is currently inadequate, according to Health Secretary Wes Streeting, who has promised swift measures to regain public trust.
Mr Streeting was reacting to an independent review into the Care Quality Commission (CQC), the body that monitors and inspects all health and adult social care providers.
The review highlighted major internal deficiencies within the CQC that hinder its capability to detect substandard performance in hospitals, care homes, and GP practices.
