In this edition of their newsletter, the CQC announces the publication of its Voices Into Action manifesto – their commitment to giving people a bigger say in how health and social care services can be improved. They consulted widely when putting it together and have given good feedback (in line with one of their Voices in Action commitments) on the action they took. telling us for example that the title of the document was changed as a result of feedback at events. The section on governance was clarified and decisions made about which advisory groups the CQC was going to have initially.

The full report of the consultation is available via their news release.
