Explanatory note

These Regulations make provision about registration of care services by the Scottish Commission for the Regulation of Care (“the Commission”). In particular they require the Commission to maintain a separate register for each of the types of care service which are covered by the Regulation of Care (Scotland) Act 2001 (regulation 2). The information which is to be recorded in the registers in respect of each individual care service is set out in the Schedule. Regulation 3 sets out the information which is to be specified in a certificate of registration of a care service. Regulation 4 specifies categories of persons who may not make an application for registration of a care service under Part 1 of the Act. Regulation 5 requires the Commission to make its registers available for inspection at its offices and on the internet, and to provide copies. It also provides that a fee of £30 will be payable for copies provided in the circumstances which are specified in regulation 5(2).

What Parliament said about it

Hansard was searched for this instrument by name and returned nothing. That is the ordinary outcome: an instrument laid under the negative procedure is usually never debated, and becomes law without a word said about it in either House.

How Parliament handled it

Parliament's Statutory Instruments service records procedure from May 2017 onwards, and this instrument predates it. That is a limit of the source, not a statement that nothing happened.
