Report

The new registration system for health and adult social care (15th May 2009)
From April 2010, a new system of regulation for health and adult social care in England comes into force for the NHS.

This will require all providers of certain health and adult social care activities to register with the Care Quality Commission in order to provide services.

The Department of Health is now consulting on the draft regulations. The draft, which is subject to parliamentary approval, will provide the detailed legal basis for the new system together with some associated policy proposals to support the registration framework.
