In this month’s report, we look at the evidence so far about how urgent and emergency care services have been affected by the pandemic during this winter, and discuss what action CQC is taking to provide constructive support.
We want these insight reports to help everyone involved in health and social care to work together to learn from the pandemic. This includes:

- understanding and learning from the experience of what hasn't
- helping health and care systems prepare better for the future.
