14 Lancashire care homes and service providers given new CQC ratings in the past month

The Care Quality Commission gives ratings to care providers and other organisations across England.

Fourteen care homes in Lancashire have been given new Care Quality Commission (CQC) scores in the past month.

The CQC gives ratings to care providers and other organisations across England, rating how well the service is performing against various criteria – with overall rankings ranging from 'outstanding' to 'inadequate'.

A service found to be needing improvement will not be up to the CQC's standards, and a service given an 'inadequate' rating will ordinarily be placed in special measures by the CQC. This Leyland doctor's surgery has been placed in Special Measures
