yes, the care quality commission's report looking at the standard of care in care homes and some of theof them seem to have a disparity, some say it is one in three, saying that they are u nsafe one in three, saying that they are unsafe and that poor leadership and staff shortages mean that residence ina staff shortages mean that residence in a quarter of facilities are going weeks without being cleaned and are served dangerous levels of medication which sounds particularly shocking. social care has been a story that has never been far from the front pages over the last couple of months and years because there has been an historic underfunding of social care. and during the election campaign. with the dementia tax. one thing with this crisis, the introduction of the national living wage which has put pressure on care homes and has put a number out of business because they haven't been able to afford to exist. labour are going to play politics with the report and say it puts rocket fuel under what they have said, that the issue of social care and its funding issue of social care and its

but first, the quality of care in nursing homes for elderly and vulnerable people is once again in the spotlight. after inspecting 2a,000 care services in england, the care quality commission watchdog said it found completely unacceptable failings. nursing homes have the worst problems according to the cqc with a third falling short of safety provision. the report found examples of elderly people being shouted at humiliated, living in dirty conditions, not receiving adequate washes. in the commons, the care minister said he was heartened that the majority of care was good, but the failures could not be ignored. we have seen the numbers of over 655 increase by nearly 1.2 million, 40% over the last five years, and today's report shows that in some areas it is completely unacceptable that standards in some cities are below those likely expected by keir users cities are below those likely expected by care users and their families. this government sees social care as a priority which is why the spring budget this year than announced additional money to councils over the next three years to spend on adult social care services. on this side we have repeatedly raised the damaging

do you agree with the assessment from the care quality commission that more people have the ability to citizens, that they provide much more support at home for avoiding crises in the first place. but there are other places where care is stuck in the past. and i think that this is a serious issue of breach of people‘s human rights. article five of the universal declaration of human rights at the united nations says that people, no person should be subjected to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment, and i‘m afraid, in the nhs, there are people whose ca re in the nhs, there are people whose care i think breaches that condition. presumably, there are some patients locked in rehabilitation wards who need to be for their own safety, or the safety of others? of course, that‘s the case, but it‘s the case of so many people being contained two could have the chance ofa contained two could have the chance of a better life, of an independent life, with support outside of institutions. it is notjust the fa ct institutions. it is notjust the fact that too many people are inappropriately locked up,

professor sir mike richards, from the care quality commission, said that while he had seen poor standardsospitals get better by making more effective use of the funds they have. what we need to do is make sure people are cared for in the right place for them, that may mean we need more beds in the care sector, we need to work together to look at that so people who do not need to be in an expensive hospital bed are in a less expensive but good place for a less expensive but good place for a dent in a care home when that is appropriate for their needs. there is no doubt that more money will be neededin is no doubt that more money will be needed in the health service but when we get that money we need to use it wisely and that is what we need to use it on, this transformation agenda. the headlines on bbc newsroom live: the government says it wants to put a stop to what it describes as the "unjust" practice of builders selling new homes in england as leasehold. the parents of charlie gard say they are preparing to spend their "last precious moments" with their terminally ill son, after decidi

the care and quality commission report into mental health did expose a shortage of staff, a shortagetage of trained staff, a shortage of resources. it's the nhs all over. why would this be any different? i don't think we needed this cqc to tell us we had a shortage of staff. people working in the system know that. we have to work out how we overcome that. partly by recruitment and enthusing people. then we have to stop people leaving. and we have to bring people back who have opted for other things. and i'm afraid we're going to have to recruit from abroad. we will have to find a political way of doing that across the nhs because we are not good to create enough of our own in time. as we have seen across the nhs, the trouble is relying on people's vocations, relying on their need to want to help fix people is no longer enough. people need to pay a mortgage and there are more demands being made upon them? you are right. we don't do this for free. but we do it because we want to do it and it is a very satisfying career. people who do go into it will find it rewarding. why are so many n

care hospitals. the commission has made recommendations to restrain unnecessarily high payments, improve the equity of payment systems for both patients and providers, and improve quality measurement and also to direct the secretary's attention to program integrity issues. for 2018 we recommend a two-year payment freeze for skilled nursing facilities, a 5% payment reduction for home health agencies and a 5% payment reduction for inpatient rehabilitation facilities. medicare profit margins in each of these sectors is 13% or more and has been that way for over a decade. in each of these sectors we are again recommending that changes in the payment system would be made so that we pay more on the basis of patient need and that that will result in greater equity across different types of providers. we believe that if the congress were to follow this recommendation something like $30 billion over the next ten years in unnecessary payments could be avoided. in other reports, the commission has recommended moving away from the siloed approach to post acute care delivery and instead move towards a unified payment system for post acute care providers. and, again, pay on the basi
