Applies To:
Residential social care : Care home services with nursing

Documentation

Description:
Market Oversight aims to protect people using adult social care services from having their care interrupted where a large or specialist care provider is at risk of financial failure and has to close one or more of its services. Where we assess that this is likely we will notify the relevant local authorities where the affected service(s) deliver care so they can enact specific contingency plans to preserve continuity of care. Local authorities have a legal duty to ensure people continue to have their care needs met if a provider stops being able to do so.
