The Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014: extension of expiry date
A consultation to gather views on the extension of the expiry date of the regulated activities regulations 2014.
The government is carrying out a review of the 2014 regulations to determine whether the scope of the 2014 regulations is still proportionate to ensure that regulated activities are delivered safely to a high standard.
In the meantime, to ensure that providers continue to be bound by the obligations and standards set out in the 2014 regulations, and that the Care Quality Commission (CQC) continues to have the power to regulate and enforce providers’ activities, the government intends to make regulations to extend the expiry date of the 2014 regulations.
The Department of Health and Social Care asks for views on the options the government is considering for extending the expiry date of the regulations.
