When someone is leaving a job or indeed the job is being abolished, it is an opportune time to say what you really think and, to an extent, so it is with the Commission for Social Care Inspection's final report.

On personalisation, the commission's findings mirror Community Care's own from last year, revealing widespread variation in progress on the transformation agenda and the services provided by councils. The report calls for a culture change in all councils and states this would be an area that CSCI would monitor closely if it were not replaced by the Care Quality Commission in April.
