The National Care Standards Commission regulates and inspects social care and independent health care services in England. This report, based on data gathered during 2002-03 from about 16,7000 care homes and children's homes, provides the first ever national review of how care services in England provide information in relation to the national minimum standards. The information standard sets out how care homes and children's homes should provide information to the public about services and facilities. Findings include that performance against the information standard varies widely by region and by provider type; with 24 per cent of care homes for older people, 29 per cent of care homes for younger people and 19 per cent of children's homes failing to meet the information standard.
