Failing care homes not reinspected within a year

The BBC investigation reveals that failing care homes in England are not being reinspected within a year, despite being rated as "inadequate" or requiring improvement by the Care Quality Commission (CQC). Families of residents, including one who tragically died at a care home, have criticized the lack of timely reinspections, demanding annual inspections for better oversight. The CQC's new flexible inspection framework has led to delays in reevaluating homes, prompting concerns from families, care workers, and providers about the effectiveness of the regulatory system.
