CMA response to the Welsh Government consultation on inspection ratings for care home services and domiciliary support services

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has responded to the Inspection ratings for care homes and domiciliary support services consultation, led by the Welsh Government.

The CMA's response draws on some if its findings and recommendations in the care homes market study final report (2017), highlighting evidence from the study's consumer research and its findings on inspection reports.  We also draw on the report's recommendations on supported decision making, helping people consider their care needs earlier, and protecting residents and their consumer rights.
