Several inquiry reports have shown that there is still a need to further improve health and social care and strengthen public confidence in these services. The reports have particularly emphasized the need for stricter regulation of health and adult social care providers and the need to use statutory powers to ensure compliance with quality and safety standards.This article outlines how the provisions of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 aim to address this need to further regulate quality and safety standards in health and social care.
几份调查报告显示,仍有必要进一步改善卫生和社会护理,并增强公众对这些服务的信心。这些报告特别强调,需要对卫生和成人社会护理服务提供者进行更严格的监管,以及需要运用法定权力来确保其遵守质量和安全标准。本文概述了《2008年卫生和社会护理法》的条款旨在如何满足进一步规范卫生和社会护理质量及安全标准的这一需求。
