A devastating roadside bomb attack struck a convoy of foreign diplomats in Pakistan's Swat Valley on Sunday, killing a police officer and injuring four others. The diplomats, nearly a dozen in number, were visiting the area at the invitation of the local chamber of commerce, and thankfully, all the ambassadors remained safe and were swiftly relocated to a secure location before departing for Islamabad. The attack highlights the ongoing security concerns in the Swat Valley, which has long been plagued by Islamist militant insurgency. Pakistani counter-terrorist forces maintain a strong presence in the region, but militants have escalated their attacks since breaking a ceasefire with the government in late 2022. The valley has witnessed several high-profile attacks, including the 2012 shooting of Nobel Peace Prize laureate Malala Yousafzai. No group has claimed responsibility for the attack, but authorities suspect the involvement of militant organizations, particularly Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP).

OFQUAL accredit investigators. OFQUAL is a government agency. CQC is a government agency. Why aren’t CQC investigators trained and qualified to OFQUAL minimum standards?

Sector Reacts to CQC’s Damning Report The UK Government has admitted that the Care Quality Commission (CQC) is “not fit for purpose”, https://buff.ly/3So66va with the release today of an interim report from Dr Penny Dash chairwoman of the North West London Integrated Care Board. In response, Kate Terroni, pic on file interim CQC chief executive, following previous chief executive Ian Trenholm’s sudden departure said: "We accept in full the findings and recommendations in this interim review, which identifies clear areas where improvement is urgently needed.” “Many of these align with areas we have prioritised as part of our work to restore trust with the public and providers by listening better, working together more collaboratively and being honest about what we’ve got wrong. We are working at pace and in consultation with our stakeholders to rebuild that trust and become the strong, credible, and effective regulator of health and care services that the public and providers need and deserve. "Work is underway to improve how we're using our new regulatory approach. We’ve committed to increasing the number of inspections we are doing so that the public have an up-to-date understanding of quality and providers are able to demonstrate improvement.” "We’re increasing the number of people working in registration so we can improve waiting times. We’re working to fix and improve our provider portal, and this time we’ll be listening to providers and to our colleagues about the improvements that are needed and how we can design solutions together. We’ll be working with people who use services and providers to develop a shared definition of what good care looks like. And we’re also developing a new approach to relationship management that enables a closer and more consistent contact point for providers.” "Additionally, to strengthen our senior level healthcare expertise, we have appointed Professor Sir Mike Richards to conduct a targeted review of how the single assessment framework is currently working for NHS trusts and where we can make improvements. Sir Mike’s career as a senior clinician, and a distinguished leader of high-profile national reviews, as well as his direct experience of driving improvement through regulation, make him uniquely placed to conduct this work." Industry leaders and organisations have responded to the findings and the news that an ongoing and government-commissioned independent review of the regulator, Melanie Weatherley MBE, Chair of the Lincolnshire Care Association, said: "We welcome the interim report from Dr Penny Dash, and as a representative of care providers we have been raising concerns about the CQC for a number of months. "We recognise the need for an effective regulator and at the moment it feels like the CQC does not fulfil this role. "Many care providers have never been inspected, despite operating for years, and the reliance on an algorithm for assessing…
