The Care Quality Commission inspects and ensures health services across the UK meet certain standards in regards to how safe, caring, effective and responsive they are, as well as examining the leadership behind them.

In July this year, the CQC published the reports of dozens of care providers across the Harrogate District and found that nine organisations 'require improvement'.

Included in the nine were five care homes, two at-home health care providers, one private hospital and a North Yorkshire County Council service which helps elderly people, people living with dementia, mental illness, learning disabilities and other physical disabilities.
