The Care Quality Commission has developed a Group Feedback Form to learn more about the quality and safety of local health and care services in your area.
It needs your support to gather evidence and intelligence, which will be used to help CQC inspectors before they carry out local inspections.

It may also help them decide what rating to give the service in their inspection report.
