How Can I Challenge a CQC Rating? | QCS

I disagree with the rating score published by the CQC on our recent care home inspection report. We submitted an intention to ask for a review which should be within 5 days of publishing but our submission was a few days later than 5 days. Now the CQC is refusing to deal with the submission due to it being out of their published time frame. What is my option as I do want to challenge their rating?

Dear N,

 

Thank you for your question.

 

The CQC’s position is quite clear and they do stick to that timescale.

 

My best advice is that you should consult a specialist solicitor. There are several specialist solicitors and you can email me again for advice if you do not already have a specialist solicitor.

 

With best wishes,

 

Sheila
