Fit and proper person's test regulations

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.
