QualityWatch

"Our programme [QualityWatch] will aim to provide an independent picture of the quality of care and, in so doing, both augment and inform the work of other statutory national bodies and initiatives.

More specifically, we will: 

• provide an authoritative resource on the overall quality of health and social care; 
• monitor and comment on changes over time, independently of government and the statutory bodies; 
• highlight where there are clear and compelling gaps between what is being achieved and what is possible in order to incite action and improvement; 
• and contribute to improving measures of quality."
