Section 46 of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (“the 2008 Act”) imposes a duty on the Care Quality Commission (“the CQC”) to conduct reviews and performance assessments of the carrying on by prescribed registered service providers of such regulated activities as may be prescribed and to publish reports of such assessments. These Regulations substitute the table in the Schedule to the Care Quality Commission (Reviews and Performance Assessments) Regulations 2014 (S.I. 2014/1788) (which currently relates to NHS Trusts and Foundation Trusts, independent hospitals and providers of personal and nursing care and primary medical services) to expand the scope of the rating regime to include providers undertaking certain regulated activities relating to cosmetic surgery services, transport services, dialysis services, refractive eye surgery services, substance misuse services and termination of pregnancy services. The Regulations also take the opportunity to replace existing cross references to the now revoked Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2010 (S.I. 2010/781) with references to the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014 (S.I. 2014/2936).
