To ask the Secretary of State for Health what inspections the Healthcare Commission and its predecessor inspectorates has undertaken into Haringey Council in relation to services that relate to children since 2000. (245967)

The Healthcare Commission, like its predecessor the Commission for Health Improvement, has no specific locus for inspections of local government. On occasion, the Healthcare Commission will work with other regulators. The Commission took part in a Joint Area Review of Haringey in 2006 and in the recent urgent review of safeguarding in Haringey. The Commission for Health Improvement was involved in the follow up to the Victoria Climbié report in 2003.
