The CQC doesn’t rate dentists, and new services wait for a first inspection, so not every service has a rating.

Latest ratings

Rated requires improvement or inadequate

A rating shows how a service was when it was last inspected. Services can improve and ask to be inspected again, so check the CQC page for the latest.

Where the figures come from

The Care Quality Commission publishes every registered health and care service and its latest rating, under the Open Government Licence. We keep those at FY postcodes and show here the ones in Blackpool. Home-care agencies are often run from someone’s home, so they show their street only.
