The CQC does an extraordinary job in collection and publishing all of the inspection reports. However they make mistakes every so often and there are several cases where reports are incorrectly dated with the earliest dated October 1972 and the latest dated December 2010. These have been reported to them but they don't seem very interested in correcting them.
The CQC issued a press release in May saying that they are going to stop rating Care Homes and are also going to take on responsibility for assessing Hospitals and GPs. This is supposed to start in October but details are a bit sketchy so far: http://www.cqc.org.uk//newsandevents/pressreleases.cfm?cit_id=36253&FAArea1=customWidgets.content_view_1&usecache=false
A later press release seems to say that they are going to keep things pretty much as they are but share their data with Healthwatch England and Monitor http://www.cqc.org.uk//newsandevents/pressreleases.cfm?cit_id=36429&FAArea1=customWidgets.content_view_1&usecache=false
