is an interesting take on the "risk ranking" exercises so many seem to be involved in (especially in the public sector). What criteria do YOU use to 'rank' your suppliers/clients/customers/risks? And how certain are you that the information you have used in your ranking exercise is rational and accurate?
And how sensible is the HSE / LAEHO ranking process that sees a lot of businesses overlooked whilst others receive regular intervention?
Just a thought for a Friday afternoon!

Just a comment
Again today on radio 4 discussions with regards to the mounting reports of the major assaults* [*for every major assault there is at least 20 less major events] in shops and similar which are the very places that the HSE etc. have deemed to be low risk areas - so much for their ranking systems!!

Never have had a lot of faith in the CQC anyway. I saw the way that they put our hospital into special measures, rightly so in my view. The Trust was then taken out even when the community it served still felt it was inadequate and poorly managed. Supplies for chemotherapy were often out of stock when required and drug pumps were poorly maintained and patients were left with no hydration - in one case for over 24 hours.

The CQC have published draft Fundamental Standards that will be finalised prior to their implementation in April 2015. Reference to 'general' H&S requirements appears to be centred around the requirement to produce risk assessments relating to the health, safety and welfare of service users only. Current CQC Essential Standards require compliance with specific H&S standards and established guidance for 'people who work, visit or use services'.
I have some concern that, through the liaison agreement between the two parties, the HSE may rely on the CQC to pass on H&S related concerns identified at inspections. This isn't going to happen if the CQC aren't looking for them.

Afternoon Redders. I am also very concerned about changes to the enforcement regime in health and social care. There is a consultation on this very matter on the CQC website, we have until 31st Dec to respond. Looking at the proposed MOU, it seems to me to be suggesting a confused and confusing enforcement landscape, with too many joins; joins can easily become gaps.
I've read Francis, and I know what the concerns about West Staffs & HSE were, but remain unconvinced that this is the way to fix it.
My current employer has some CQC registered services, though it's not our core business, so we are currently debating whether or not to respond to the consultation, but I would urge any and everybody working in the registered care or healthcare sectors to consider carefully what is being proposed and get your two-pennorth in before it's too late,
John
