'The State of Health Care and Adult Social Care in England (HC 841)' is the second annual report on the state of care in England.

New laws governing the regulation of health care and adult social care came into force in 2010 and introduced a common set of essential standards of quality and safety that all care providers must now meet.

This report covers all of the services that the Care Quality Commission (CQC) regulated and assessed under the previous legislation:

• adult social care services (care homes, nursing homes and home care agencies);

• the NHS and independent health care services; and

• councils and primary care trusts (PCTs) who provide and purchase (commission) adult social care and health care services for their communities.

There are four main sections:

(i) safe care;

(ii) choice and control;

(iii) person-centred services; and

(iv) standards of care.
