- CQC, 'CQC inspector dismissed for gross misconduct' (27/4/12). 'A CQC inspector has been dismissed for gross misconduct after an internal investigation revealed that the impartiality of their regulatory judgements had been seriously compromised. This came to light as a result of whistle-blowing information to the CQC. No additional detail can be provided as CQC has now referred this matter to the police.'

- Liberating the NHS: Report of the arms-length bodies review - 26/7/10 - The proposal for the CQC is: "Retain as quality inspectorate across health and social care, operating a joint licensing regime with Monitor.

May receive functions from other organisations, e.g. HTA and HFEA"
