HC Deb 25 March 2004 vol 419 c1047W
Tim Loughton

To ask the Secretary of State for Health for what reason inspection reports on care homes by the National Care Standards Commission (NCSC), together with subsequent responses by care home owners, are not published in full on the NCSC website. [162920]

Dr. Ladyman

The National Care Standards Commission (NCSC) publishes the reports of its inspections in full on its website. Responses from providers are included wherever possible, although there have been difficulties in uploading this information onto the NCSC's computer system. The website makes it clear that provider comments are available from the NCSC office that originated the inspection or from the provider directly.
