Medical Treatments
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will take steps to ensure that medical treatment is only provided in appropriate medical settings.
Answered by Andrew Gwynne
The Care Quality Commission (CQC) is the independent regulator of health and social care provision in England.
Providers carrying on regulated activities must provide information about the locations from which these regulated activities will be managed from or delivered at, when registering with the CQC. If agreed, these locations are subsequently listed on the providers certificate of registration as conditions of their registration. The CQC can act on any breach of information relating to a provider's registration.
Any services, care or treatment being offered outside of the regulated activities would be beyond the CQC’s remit.
