  Care Bill - Clause 90 - Role of Care Quality Commission - Local Government Provision of Adult Social Services
  
  --- MOTION EFFECT ---
  
  @ MP voted no against requiring the Care Quality Commission to review the provision, and commissioning, of adult social services by local councils. 
  @ MP voted aye to require the Care Quality Commission to review the provision, and commissioning, of adult social services by local councils. 
  
  The majority of MPs voted against requiring [http://www.cqc.org.uk/ The Care Quality Commission] to review the provision, and commissioning, of adult social services by local councils. 
  
  MPs were considering the Care Bill[1]. The text of the amendment rejected in this vote was:
  
  :Amendment proposed: 19, page 81, line 27, at end insertâ
  
  :â(2A) The Commission must, in respect of such English local authorities as may be prescribedâ
  :(a) conduct reviews of the provision of such adult social services provided or commissioned by the authorities as may be prescribed;
  :(b) assess the performance of the authorities following each such review; and
  :(c) publish a report of its assessment.
  :(2B) Regulations under subsection (2A) may prescribeâ
  :(a) all adult social services of a particular description; and
  :(b) all local authorities or particular local authorities.â
  
  This would have affected Clause 90 of the Bill as it stood at the time of the vote[2], which itself amended [http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2008/14/part/1/chapter/3 Part 1, Chapter 3 of the Health and Social Care Act 2008] which relates to The Care Quality Commission's role in reviewing health care standards. 
  
  The amendment would have essentially reinstated [http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2008/14/section/46 section 46(3) of the Health and Social Care Act 2008], which the Care Bill as it stood would have replaced, the focus being shifted to a review of the service providers rather than the commissioners.
