Care Home Star Ratings

The National Care Forum (NCF) is looking to persuade the new Secretary of State for Health, Jeremy Hunt, to support the return of the star ratings system for care homes.
The system was abolished by England’s care regulator the Care Quality Commission (CQC) in 2010, at the same time as the body demanded care services sign up for a new registration process. At the time the regulator said it would consult over whether a similar or new ratings system should be developed and there has been no attempt by the CQC to rule out a return over the long term, but no recent developments that suggest a new system is being planned either.
