Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspection
The City of London Corporation has extended a big thank you to
all residents, people who use Adult Social Care services and LINk
members who contributed towards the Care Quality Commission (CQC)
inspection of the City’s Adult Social Care Service in September
2009. The inspection focussed on: safeguarding adults; choice and
control for older people; commissioning and the use of resources;
and leadership.
The CQC praised the City for the increased choice and control
offered to older people, including those from diverse backgrounds,
as well as for providing distinctive and innovative services
focussing on health, education, wellbeing and lifestyle. The report
rated efforts to ensure the safeguarding of adults as being
adequately carried out, and noted prompt action taken to safeguard
adults when referrals were received. The City has agreed an action
plan to implement the CQC’s recommendations and will report on
progress to the CQC at the end of June 2010. Copies of the report
and action plan are available from Kat Cook on 020 7332 1219 or are
downloadable below.

Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA)
The JSNA is the process by which Local Authorities and Primary
Care Trusts ascertain the future health, care and well being needs
of the local population. The information in the JSNA helps service
planning and commissioning , and feeds into the work on the Local
Area Agreement and the Sustainable Communities Strategy ( The City
Together). The JSNA is a statutory requirement for Local and Health
Authorities.
The City of London, the London Borough of Hackney and NHS City
and Hackney completed the 2009–2010 JSNA, which is called the
Health and Wellbeing Profile for Hackney and the
City, in November 2009.
