Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspection
The City of London Corporation has extended a big thank you to
all residents, people who use Adult Social Care services and LINk
members who contributed towards the Care Quality Commission (CQC)
inspection of the City’s Adult Social Care Service in September
2009. The inspection focussed on: safeguarding adults; choice and
control for older people; commissioning and the use of resources;
and leadership.
The CQC praised the City for the increased choice and control
offered to older people, including those from diverse backgrounds,
as well as for providing distinctive and innovative services
focussing on health, education, wellbeing and lifestyle. The report
rated efforts to ensure the safeguarding of adults as being
adequately carried out, and noted prompt action taken to safeguard
adults when referrals were received. The City has agreed an action
plan to implement the CQC’s recommendations and will report on
progress to the CQC at the end of June 2010. Copies of the report
and action plan are available from Kat Cook on 020 7332 1219.

Primary Care Trust and other partner agencies, provides health and
community care services for all residents and employees across the
Square Mile.
The Health and Wellbeing Profile for Hackney and the City
The City of London has a legal duty to conduct an annual Joint
Strategic Needs Assessment, involving the NHS and other local
partners, to build up a picture of the City and its people. Joint
Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA) is a process that identifies the
current and future health and wellbeing needs of our local
population. The JSNA report (called the Health and Wellbeing
Profile) provides us with evidence for understanding the health and
wellbeing needs of our local community and helps us work out what
services we need to provide for people in the City.
The Health and Wellbeing Profile contains local NHS data; as
well as data that is produced at regional and national level that
is available for the City’s small population. However, the document
is not comprehensive, as the City’s population is small: this means
that we have detailed data for some issues (for example, hospital
admissions); but not for others (for example, obesity prevalence).
We currently conduct our JSNA with Hackney, as we share a health
budget, and much of our data is currently aggregated with
Hackney.
We are working hard to get more data about the City and its
people, so that we can work out what the health needs are, and how
we can shape services to meet people’s needs. In the meantime, have
a look at what we know so far.
