New Rule for Care Homes
FAILING CARE HOMES – Failing care homes could be put into a similar regime as poor-performing hospitals, Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt will announce today. Every care home in England is to be inspected and rated in a new drive to prevent abuse and neglect of residents. From April next year those rated as inadequate face being put into special measures – and If they fail to improve within a set time limit they could be closed down.
Performance in the industrial goods sector is largely driven by supply and demand for building construction – residential, commercial and industrial – as well as the demand for manufactured products. When the economy contracts and consumers save more and spend less, activity in this sector drops because companies will postpone expansion and produce fewer goods.
