Mr Streeting said there was evidence that some of the ratings had been 'effectively manufactured and invented using partial views and inspections combined with historic ratings and judgments'. He said there were 'people going into care homes with no experience of common conditions like dementia and making judgments about the quality of care, people going into hospitals with no experience of actually providing care in hospital'.

The CQC says it makes sure health and social care services in England provide people with 'safe, effective, compassionate, high-quality care' by monitoring and inspecting what they do.  But the independent review by Dr Penny Dash found fewer than half the number of inspections were carried out last year as in 2019/20.
