providing organization so that they can serve better services to their clients. There are several
agencies which are working in UK. These agencies have the responsibility of monitoring,
maintaining, law and order, modify and create new rules and regulations and other rights also.

which are used in the case study of Stretton Nursing Home are stated as follows:
The first agency is CQC (Care Quality Commission). This is an independent authority in
England which is liable of the quality and safety of care. Care provided by NHS, local
authorities, independent providers and voluntary organizations in registered settings are also
included in this commission. They regulate health care providers of people to all ages, including
hospital, ambulance services, mental health services, clinics and other services (Curtis and

government is assuring its local population that they will provide better services to them. These
services allow the patients to take better treatment for any disease. The standards are useful for
both tangible or intangible disease. Diseases that can not be identified without examining the

2.3 Potential barriers to delivery of quality in health and social care services
Potential barriers are the hindrance in availing the services and products to the
organization. In case of Stretton Nursing Home, the potential barriers do not allow the
management to provide services to the patients. Therefore, patients cannot be able to satisfy
themselves with the services of Nursing Home. The barriers of quality services are stated as
follows:
Training and supervision
This is one of the main barrier in order to achieve the quality of services. The staff of
Stretton Nursing Home does not have sufficient skill so as to help the patients. The staff did not
have proper induction before caring of patients. This increases lack of services among them
(Mboi, 2015). Training and supervision help the staff members to work for the betterment of
patients with their potential. They will gain the required skill and training of handling the issues
of patients easily. Therefore, training and supervision has great influence over the quality of
services to patients.
Responsiveness
In case of Stretton Nursing Home, the staff members bell did not work properly and thus
patients were not able to reach towards the patients. Apart from that, the staff not always respond
to them whenever the patient needed. This disrupts the quality of services to the patients. If a
patient is calling for aid or assistance than the staff member should be there in order to help it.
But due to failure of ringing bell and inattentiveness of staff, patients are suffering with improper
facilities of Nursing Home.
Updated prescription
In case of Stretton nursing home people were not receive their prescription so as to take
the medicine. They often take their medicine with the older prescription. The doctor had not
always signed the prescription report and allow the patient to take medicine. This is not ethical in
providing quality of services to the patients. Therefore the quality of services will be hindered by
the staff of Stretton Nursing Home.
Lack of enough staff
When in organisation there is lack of staff then it proved harzdous for them to give their
best to their consumers and not able to give delighted experience to their consumers base. Along
with this an organization also not able to attain their goal and objective in effective manner. This

facilities of Nursing Home.

the staff of Stretton Nursing Home.
