Thousands of people are 'exposed to danger' because healthcare provision at major events is 'unregulated', the Manchester Arena Inquiry heard today.
The government is being by the Care Quality Ciommission to regulate healthcare at big events like concerts and music festivals to prevent 'unsafe care, abuse and deaths'.
Yesterday Joyce Frederick, CQC director of policy and strategy, revealed at the inquiry it had been lobbying the Department of Health and Social Care to bring the 'unregulated' sector under its sphere, to enable it to take action against poor providers. It was the CQC's 'number one priority'.
