The Care Quality Commission (CQC) is the independent regulator for health and social care in England and as such, they review all concerns raised with them, consider the risk to patients and take regulatory action when appropriate and proportionate to protect people that use services. The CQC has inspected Kettering General Hospital eight times since 2014. The most recent inspection was in response to concerns raised regarding the care of patients who were at risk of, or and had fallen. As a result the CQC took enforcement action and served a Section 29a Warning Notice. The CQC continues to monitor the provider closely.
