Nursing care licence exemption
Seeks views on whether NHS continuing healthcare and NHS funded nursing care services should remain exempt from Monitor’s licence regime.
Detail
Providers of care and support are currently not regulated by Monitor and do not require a licence to provide care and support services. Providers of NHS continuing healthcare and NHS-funded nursing care services are exempt from the requirement to hold a licence until 1 April 2015.
We are consulting on the following two options:
-
to allow the current nursing care licence exemption to expire
-
to continue with licence exemption for organisations that provide NHS continuing healthcare and NHS-funded nursing care
The questions are included as annex B to a wider consultation on the Care Act 2014.
