Department of Health consultation on proposed changes to regulations for Care Quality Commission registration

Department of Health consultation on proposed changes to regulations for Care Quality Commission registration seeks views on a number of proposed changes to the legislation that underpins the regulation of health and adult social care providers by the Care Quality Commission (CQC).

The Care Quality Commission took responsibility for the regulation of health and adult social care providers in April 2009. The regulatory framework that CQC operates is underpinned by two main sets of regulations: The Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2010, and The Care Quality Commission (Registration) Regulations 2009.
