Health Secretary Andrew Lansley today confirmed the appointment of Dame Jo Williams as Chair of the
Care Quality Commission (CQC).
The announcement follows an independent recruitment exercise by the Appointments Commission followed by a pre-appointment scrutiny hearing by the Health Select Committee, which subsequently endorsed Dame Jo Williams as a candidate for the post.
The CQC is the independent regulator of health and adult social care in England. Dame Jo Williams has been the acting Chair of the CQC since February 2010.
