CQC pledges to avoid box-ticking culture
The Care Quality Commission (CQC) has said that it is determined not to fall into the trap of simply ticking boxes in its inspections of health and social care providers. The CQC has said that it is looking at a wider range of information and evidence about dental practices, allowing it to make a broader assessment about quality and performance than would be possible purely on the basis of an inspection alone. It now has almost 30 dentists available to take part in inspections, CQC has confirmed.
