Care standards improving

Care standards in Scotland are continuing to improve, with more services receiving top grades than ever before, according to the care regulator.

The Care Commission has revealed that more than a quarter of all care services across the country have received the highest grades following their inspections over the past year.

The findings in the Commission's Quality of Care Review, showed that a total of 364 care services in Edinburgh achieved grades of fives (very good) and sixes (excellent) in their latest inspections, while seven received grades of one (unsatisfactory) and two (poor).
