The Care Quality Commission (CQC) has set out how it will regulate local services during local government reorganisation and other major reforms. It confirmed that inspections and assessments will continue, while being adapted to local risk and delivered flexibly. In deciding whether to change the timing or priority of visits, it will consider previous findings, available data and intelligence and the time since the last assessment. The CQC also noted that it is working with government departments, Ofsted and local authorities to align approaches and avoid duplication. It will not carry out full assessments of adult social care functions before vesting day or in the following six months. Instead, it will use focused assessments and assurance meetings.

He also provided an annex with detailed responses on specific Committee recommendations regarding compliance monitoring, complaints handling, human-rights-based inspection processes and areas such as Do Not Attempt Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (DNACPR) practice and monitoring under the Mental Health Act 2025 (MHA 2025).
