The CQC has no legal deadline to decide. The Government should set a statutory timescale and fund lower registration costs.","additional_details":"CQC registration can place enormous demands on applicants: complex policies and paperwork with little guidance, alongside costly requirements — all before a single client can be taken on. Yet CQC has no statutory timescale to reach a decision on registration, and we feel there is no consistency across the registration process. Applicants can face open-ended financial pressure with no certainty. The Government should reform the process to make it structured, properly supported and time bound.","committee_note":"","state":"open","signature_count":21,"closing_date":"2027-02-21","created_at":"2026-06-30T18:03:01.388Z","updated_at":"2026-08-22T21:24:10.000Z","rejected_at":null,"opened_at":"2026-08-21T08:43:41.748Z","closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2026-06-30T20:56:20.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_on":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"creator_name":"Dagmar de Botton","rejection":null,"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[{"acronym":"DHSC","name":"Department of Health and Social Care","url":"https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-of-health-and-social-care"}],"topics":[],"signatures_by_country":[{"name":"Canada","code":"CA","signature_count":1},{"name":"United Kingdom","code":"GB","signature_count":20}],"signatures_by_constituency":[{"name":"Croydon West","ons_code":"E14001188","mp":"Sarah Jones MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"East Wiltshire","ons_code":"E14001217","mp":"Danny Kruger MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Kingswinford and South Staffordshire","ons_code":"E14001316","mp":"Mike Wood MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Lewisham West and East Dulwich","ons_code":"E14001333","mp":"Rt Hon Ellie Reeves KC MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"North East Hertfordshire","ons_code":"E14001393","mp":"Chris Hinchliff MP","signature_count":2},{"name":"St Albans","ons_code":"E14001507","mp":"Daisy Cooper MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Welwyn Hatfield","ons_code":"E14001573","mp":"Andrew Lewin MP","signature_count":13}],"signatures_by_region":[{"name":"West Midlands","ons_code":"F","signature_count":1},{"name":"East of England","ons_code":"G","signature_count":16},{"name":"London","ons_code":"H","signature_count":2},{"name":"South West","ons_code":"K","signature_count":1}],"other_parliamentary_business":[]}}}
