Just had a letter through from my dentist. The finance plan costs will rise to £26 a month.

This is getting criminal now.

The price climbed massively during Covid because of "all the extra PPE required per visit" but they stopped using all that "extra PPE" some time ago.

And yet, as previously discussed, THE PRICE DID NOT COME BACK DOWN

And no, before you ask: they do NOT accept NHS patients.

After £3bn and years of inspections, the CQC remains reactive and ineffective. Roy Lilley proposes replacing it with real-time NHS data monitoring—smart, predictive oversight. #NHS #CQC #HealthPolicy

The latest excellent Roy #Lilley “takedown” of this Labour Government’s lamentable mismanagement of the #UK’s #NHS - in part via the utterly useless Care Quality Commission [#CQC]!

“… the CQC are no more useful than a pedestrian on a motorway bridge watching a pile-up on the M25”

“Scrap the CQC”

I could not find any CQC Local Authority Assessment League Tables so created some myself.

Assessment Period: August 2024 - September 2025 | 72 Local Authorities Assessed

The CQC website has several pages of links to all local authority adult social care assessments it has completed to date. Each assessment page has another link to the outcome summary for the respective local authority.

I could not find an aggregated table of results to make easy comparisons between them. Clicking link after link to display each summary page in a new tab was not going to work.

I spent a few hours today coding with prompts to Claude Sonnet 4.5 via Perplexity to create the interactive reports linked below. Make of them what you will. AI slop?
