Dear C Harrison
Thank you for your correspondence of 3 February.
CQC has considered your request in accordance with the Freedom of
Information Act 2000 (FOIA).
Our main obligation under the legislation is to confirm whether we do or
do not hold the requested information.
In accordance with section 1(1) of FOIA we are able to confirm that CQC
does not hold recorded information in relation to this matter.
We do not hold information detailing the number of NHS referrals to ‘[1]St
Andrew's Healthcare – Essex’ and ‘[2]Kent and Medway NHS and Social Care
Partnership Trust’.
You may wish to make a request to NHS Digital and NHS England to determine
whether they hold the information you seek.
The details of how to make a request are available on their websites:
[3]www.content.digital.nhs.uk/foi
[4]www.england.nhs.uk/contact-us/foi/
You could also consider making a request to Kent and Medway NHS and Social
Care Partnership Trust as they are a public authority, like CQC and NHS
England, and are therefore obliged to consider requests for recorded
information in accordance with FOIA. The details of how to make a request
are available on their website:
[5]www.kmpt.nhs.uk/about-us/freedom-of-information.htm
If you are interested in how we regulate we would suggest you refer to the
information we have published on our website:
[6]www.cqc.org.uk/content/how-we-inspect-and-regulate-guide-providers
Our inspection teams are formed from a national team of clinical and other
experts, including people with experience of receiving care. Intelligent
monitoring helps us to decide when, where and what to inspect, including
listening better to people's experiences of care and using the best
information across the system. Our inspections are in-depth and we inspect
in the evenings and at weekends when we know people can experience poorer
care.
Our inspectors use professional judgement, supported by objective measures
and evidence, to assess services against our five key questions:
1. Are they safe?
2. Are they effective?
3. Are they caring?
4. Are they responsive to people’s needs
5. Are they well-led?
We explain our approach in our provider handbooks and appendices:
[7]www.cqc.org.uk/content/provider-handbooks
Our provider handbooks explain what we look for when we inspect. They also
set out how we regulate services.
The handbooks describe how we register providers, carry out inspections,
publish our ratings and how we take enforcement action. We publish
separate handbooks for each of the sectors we regulate.
We hope that you have found this response helpful. If you are not
satisfied with our handling of your request, then you may request an
internal review.
Please clearly indicate that you wish for a review to be conducted and
state your reason(s) for requesting the review. To request a review please
contact:
Information Rights
Care Quality Commission
Citygate
Gallowgate
Newcastle upon Tyne
NE1 4PA
E-mail: [8][CQC request email]
Please be aware that the review process will focus upon our handling of
your request and whether CQC have complied with the requirements of the
Freedom of Information Act 2000. The internal review process should not be
used to raise concerns about the provision of care or the internal
processes of other CQC functions.
If you are unhappy with other aspects of the CQC's actions, or of the
actions of registered providers, please see our website for information on
how to raise a concern or complaint:
[9]www.cqc.org.uk/content/contact-us
Further rights of appeal exist to the Information Commissioner’s
Office under section 50 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 once the
internal review process has been exhausted.
