The latest Care Providers Alliance report reveals serious issues with the CQC Single Assessment Framework, from registration delays to technology failures and a lack of clear guidance. With over 1,200 survey responses and 100+ providers speaking out, the message is clear: the system isn’t working.

- Why providers feel left in limbo
- The call to reintroduce named inspectors for consistency
- How technology failures are making compliance even harder
