Mulholland Leads calls for a Debate on the Future of the Care Quality Commission

December 3, 2009 6:26 PM

Greg Mulholland, MP for Leeds North West demanded a debate on the future of the Care Quality Commission during Business Questions today.

Greg has been critical of the Care Quality Commission (CQC) following their response to a leaked report containing damning criticism of the Eccleshill Treatment Centre in Bradford.

Speaking only seconds after his Liberal Democrat colleague Lynne Featherstone, who had also voiced concerns about the integrity of the CQC.

Greg Commented:

"It is hugely important that an organisation like the Care Quality Commission is held properly to account.

"This organisation has made some very high profile errors and yet it seems the Government are reluctant to hold them to account.

"We need a debate on the issue of the CQC and to ensure that the regulators are themselves properly regulated.

    If you are a resident of the Leeds North West constituency and are writing to discuss any issue that Parliament or government is responsible for, you must provide your home address as MPs are generally only permitted to act on behalf of constituents.

    If you are not a constituent, you do not need to provide your address, but the matters we can deal with are more limited and you may wish to contact your local MP in the first instance.
