The statement issued today by the CQC says there has been a steady improvement in ratings awarded to councils. However, their assessment highlights concerns that affect people's lives:
95% of local authorities are performing either excellently or well in their commissioning of adult social care (compared to 87% in the previous year).
One quarter of councils are rated only adequate in terms of giving people choice and control over their care.
A third of councils must do more to care for people with dignity and respect.
