Healthwatch England has responded to the Care Quality Commission's assessment of the state of health and social care in England.
The Care Quality Commission (CQC) warns that the NHS and social care services risk “failing the future” if children and young people don’t get the care they need.
The State of Care report highlights that many children and young people are not currently getting the support they need and are facing delays to important treatments.
We also agree with the CQC’s findings about ongoing problems for disabled or frail people to access timely and adequate personal care at home to help them with daily tasks, stay independent or recover from recent operations or illness.
