CQC location name

Data descriptor

From:

CLD Guidance, release 1 (February 2023)

NHS England

If the service provider is registered to carry out regulated activities with the Care Quality Commission (CQC), please record the CQC Location Name. This field should not be used for services provided by non-CQC registered providers and any non-registered activity.

If there is a case where a client has two providers, services from each provider should be treated as a separate event line if there is a separate service being provided by each provider. In the case where the provider changes, we would expect this to be recorded as a separate service event, with new provider details and start date reflecting the date of this change. Where a provider changes the location name or ID but the people are continuing to receive the same service in the same location, this should be recorded using the same event line with the latest CQC location name and ID.

Data type: Alpha-numeric
