The Care Quality Commission (CQC) is the independent regulator of health and adult social care services in England. Its purpose is to work together with the public, systems and providers of care to protect people, and to promote and improve the quality of care.
East of England Community Health and Care NHS Trust is a new organisation formed on 1 April 2026. We brought together 2 high performing community providers - Cambridgeshire Community Services NHS Trust (CCS) and Norfolk Community Health and Care NHS Trust (NCH&C).
We are delighted to confirm that the CQC rated the services delivered by our Trust as 'Outstanding'.
Achieving an Outstanding rating is a significant accomplishment. It reflects the dedication of our staff to providing consistently high-quality, compassionate and innovative care that goes beyond the standards expected by the CQC. Find out more about CQC ratings.
The CQC assess services using a combination of feedback from service users, data, evidence and inspections. You can find out more about the CQC inspection process and also read about how the CQC takes action if a service needs to improve. You can also give feedback to the CQC on your care.
Cambridgeshire Community Services NHS Trust (CCS)
We were pleased to welcome the CQC inspection team in 2019.
We view CQC inspections as an important external rating of our services. But our focus is on continuous quality improvement every day. We use patient feedback, learning and evidence to improve the quality, safety and experience of care for the communities we serve.
