Post-implementation review of regulations relating to the Care Quality Commission

We're seeking feedback from all providers of a regulated activity that are registered with the Care Quality Commission in England on regulations made under the Health and Social Care Act 2008.

Last fetched 03 May 2026 · gov.uk
Detail

We are conducting a post-implementation review of 3 sets of regulations made under the Health and Social Care Act 2008. These regulations are:

  • Care Quality Commission (Registration) Regulations 2009
  • Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014
  • Care Quality Commission (Reviews and Performance Assessments) Regulations 2018

We are seeking feedback from all providers of a regulated activity that are registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) in England to determine:

  • whether all 3 regulations meet their original objectives
  • whether their scope is still appropriate and proportionate
  • their impact on providers
  • whether any changes are required to achieve those objectives with a system that imposes less regulation or to change what the regulations prescribe
