If just 1% of homes can achieve an Outstanding rating, I question what purpose this rating serves to the public.
Is the bar not set to high?
I recall Andera Sutcliffe saying at the start of ratings being given that she was expecting 3% of providers to achieve Outstanding, not 1%.
At the time I considered even 3% to be rather useless to the public, but Andrea, does this not suggest to you that you have missed the mark and this rating needs an overhall?
