They already do that. Surprise visits are no surprise at all. CQC inspections are an observation of everyone on their best behaviour, having been prepared well in advance. If something goes wrong under those conditions, there is no excuse. Noteworthy, no matter the trust's retort

Precisely. They are already a positive spin on reality.

Well, yes and no. If it was so easy to prepare for a CQC inspection and mask issues then we wouldn't have so many trusts rated as RI.

Perhaps all would need RI if no advanced warning.

Feels unlikely. There are limits to what could be obscured that gets looked at on inspection. I think the methodology is broadly sound.

You'll not find much sympathy for that perspective from me I'm afraid Matt. I believe the inspection regime to be deeply flawed. Not least for the reasons I mention above. It's superficial at best. Serious issues get swept aside.

It's not perfect, but I think there's a danger of assuming certain things work better which haven't been adequately tested and/or evaluated, e.g. announced vs unannounced.

I'm not sure I understand that? Can you give me an example of such an assumption?

Yes: do unannounced inspections find more/are they better/more representative than announced? Public seem to think/assume unannounced are better, but is there any evidence?

I think we need some definition. E.g. more representative of what? Day to day reality? Then of course unannounced is better. False impression any other way. And 'better' for me is just about accuracy. This shouldn't be a debate. I find the regulatory pussyfooting sickening, tbh.

And btw.. when I say unannounced, I really mean it. As in 'Oh sh*t, the inspectors are here!' kind of unannounced. Not how it's been for CQC inspections from my experience.
