Dear Members,


After the daily updates that we began in April, issues around re registration seem to have calmed down a little and I thought it is time I got back to my blog and kept you updated with all the other things that are going on with the social care agenda as well as with the Care Quality Commission.


First of all I guess there is the general election. The Coalition has appointed the Liberal Democrat MP Paul Burstow to be the Minister of State responsible for Social Care.


The Minister is someone we have got to know well since he was elected to Parliament in 1997. He has always taken a close interest in Social Care so we hope that we will be able to work with him in the coming months and years to ensure that Social Care is recognised to be as essential as Health Care.


Thanks Sheila
