Fit and proper person's test regulations
Seeks views on a new fit and proper person's test for directors of health and care providers registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC).
Detail
This consultation proposes a new registration requirement that all directors of providers registered with the CQC must meet a new fit and proper person test. The CQC will be able to insist on the removal of directors that fail this test.
The consultation includes:
- how the revised fit and proper person requirement will work
- a draft of the regulations that will introduce the fit and proper person requirement
- questions about the impact of the new regulations
It follows a previous consultation on proposals to hold providers to account where there are serious failures in care.
