CFW is encouraging members to share their views* with the Competition and Markets Authority as part of its ongoing investigation into care homes.

The survey, which focuses on your business practices with residents (in particular self-funders), will help to inform the CMA’s market study – the study is considering whether the market for the provision of care home and nursing home services (to the over-65s in the UK) is working well for residents and for fairly competing businesses.

Further information about the CMA and this work can be found here and you can respond to the short CMA survey here. The deadline for responding has been extended to October 30.

*If you operate more than one care home, you should only submit a single corporate response on behalf of all the care homes in your group.
