Correct answer: E — Safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led
The correct answer is E. CQC assessment of an English dental service is structured around whether it is safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led. These are the established five key questions used for CQC dental inspection and compliance assessment. The other options contain matters that may be relevant to operating a business, such as staffing, equipment, insurance, marketing or profitability, but they are not the CQC's five inspection questions. In particular, CQC regulation concerns the quality and governance of care rather than commercial success or promotional activity.
