The government is seeking views on removing the expiry date of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014 and replacing it with a 5-yearly review.

It is also seeking views on proposed amendments to the CQC regulations relating to:

• treatment (not first aid) in a sports ground or gymnasium
• temporary arrangements to deliver medical care (not first aid) at sporting or cultural events
• introducing a new requirement to notify CQC of the use of restraint, segregation and seclusion in mental health units
