New paper in @bmj_latest today:

We show how public provision of adult social care has nearly ended over the last 20 years.

We argue it has done so a) worsening the quality of care b) reducing accessibility of services and c) increasing inequalities.

CQC one-word rulings are based on the now abandoned Ofsted judgements. Why are they still used for care homes, hospitals and support services, if they are not appropriate for schools? @LaylaMoran @wesstreeting @VictoriaAtkins @CareQualityComm

Out today in @SectorFocus by myself and @AMBachMortensen:

Care homes are sometimes closed down for putting resident's safety at risk. But why are they almost all run for-profit?

We argue it isn't a coincidence:
