FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda

The care watchdog has been slapped down by the Government for claiming it has been forced to cancel inspections of hospitals and care homes in order to investigate abortion clinics.
Ministers had demanded the Care Quality Commission carry out an urgent series of spot checks after it emerged doctors were carrying out abortions because foetuses were the ‘wrong sex’.
On Wednesday the CQC warned these investigations had forced it to cancel 580 planned inspections of hospitals and care homes and had used up to £1million in resources.
Claim: The Care Quality Commission said it had been forced to cancel inspections of care homes in order to investigate abortion clinics
But in a strongly-worded letter sent last night, senior civil servants told the CQC it has a responsibility to ensure abortion clinics are run legally and do not put women at risk.
The letter also states the CQC should be perfectly capable of ‘responding quickly’ to evidence of ‘unsafe practice’.
Meanwhile it has emerged the watchdog is likely to spend twice as much on PR and marketing as it will carrying out checks on abortion clinics.
Documents from CQC reveal that in 2011/12 some £1.6million was spent on ‘communications’ while another £417,000 went towards marketing – a total of just over £2million.
The watchdog insists much of this money is spent maintaining its website, which informs patients about the safety of hospitals and care homes.

However civil servants point out resources should not be an issue, given the CQC is likely to have £13million left over in its accounts at the end of the year.
The letter, signed by Richard Douglas, director general of policy, strategy and finance at the Department of Health, states that ‘when the CQC learns of illegal practice, it is absolutely right that it investigates further’.
It adds ‘the public expects nothing less of the regulator’.
The watchdog has been repeatedly criticised in recent months and last year it emerged it had missed the abuse of adults with learning difficulties at the Winterbourne View care home near Bristol.
Only last week MPs on the Public Accounts Committee accused the CQC of putting its own reputation ahead of patient safety.
Last month an undercover investigation revealed doctors at some abortion clinics were illegally allowing women to have terminations just because they wanted a baby of the opposite sex.
The Government told the CQC to urgently investigate 320 abortion clinics and it has since emerged up to a fifth may be breaking the law.
While visiting the clinics the watchdog’s inspectors found doctors were signing off consent forms for women to have abortions despite knowing nothing of their circumstances.
Doctors are meant to have either seen patients in person or at the very least read their medical records.
Since the investigation one doctor. Prabha Sivaraman. has been banned by the General Medical Council for offering terminations.
A CQC spokesman said: ‘The CQC’s chair wrote to the Department of Health setting out the cost of this programme in both financial terms and in terms of the number of inspections foregone as a result.
‘This was an entirely appropriate action for a public body which has a duty to account for its expenditure and resourcing allocation to take, and in line with recent recommendations from the Health Select Committee.’

Nothing like such a scandal to wind up the anti abortion brigade and in the States that costs adult lives and terror campaigns. The Government is right to want to stamp out this illegal activity. It is not right to use this poorly led quango to right the wrongs. It has repeatedly failed under a succession of different names when being led by plonkers. How many nails does it take to finish it’s coffin ?.

Pointless, useless, money guzzling quango, not fit for purpose. They seem to be more busy on their website that anywhere else.

Why has nobody asked how on earth it cost £1,000,000 for inspectors to visit and check the records of 300 clinics ? No wonder I pay so much tax !!!

The QCA showed its politcal colours in its statement that it would have to put care homes inspections on the back boiler whilst it investigated abortion clinics. So their colours are firmly on the feminist agenda and the right to choose and they don’t want to investigate abortion clinics despite the fact that abuse has been found and it is within their remit.

Job for the boys, loud noises but little action like most government early retirement jobs. The care company my daughter and granddaughter works for caring for the termly ill received praise from the Macmillan nurses for their care. Of course this was not news, only bad news is printable.

Public sector whingeing about being forced to do their jobs. Cost 1 million, why is that, you are being paid anyway, you were just made to inspect different places to those planned, total bull. Stop moaning and get on with what you are very well paid for. Who is to inspect the CQC and give them a rocket.
Report abuse
The CQC are an absolutley useless quango. The government need to get rid of it and start again.
Report abuse
Any doctor who agrees to terminate the life of a baby because its the ‘wrong’ sex needs putting in jail then struck off as the complete incompetent they are. Disgusting.

Well the inspection my home had last year still doesn’t have its report and is listed as not having been inspected. When I complained, again, I was informed the inspector was off sick and her manager was on long term sick and we would be inspected again early in the financial year. This whole organisation is sick, it needs to be either closed down, or get someone in who can run it properly and is willing to be hard on its own staff for repeated sickness and cut costs and get reports out. Cynthia Bowers and Dame Jo are useless, for Gods sake shut this down.
