Answer
The Regulation and Quality Improvement Authority’s enforcement activity is available on the RQIA’s website at:
http://www.rqia.org.uk/inspections/enforcement_activity.cfm
During 2014-15, RQIA took the following enforcement action:
| Service Category | Number of establishments | Number of occasions on which enforcement taken |
| Nursing Home | 16 | 17 |
| Residential Care Home | 7 | 10 |
| Total | 23 | 27 |
All of these establishments were operated privately.
There is no separate care home category of registration.
