Detail of outcome
The consultation received a limited number of responses and as a result, it’s not possible to conclude that the views provided are indicative of the whole health and social care sector.
Of the responses that were received, these will be fed into a wider piece of work by Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) to review and assess proposals to amend regulations relating to CQC’s oversight of regulated activities. If amendments need to be made to secondary legislation, these will follow the applicable Parliamentary process, including an appropriate consultation.
Original consultation
Consultation description
We are conducting a post-implementation review of 3 sets of regulations made under the Health and Social Care Act 2008. These regulations are:
- Care Quality Commission (Registration) Regulations 2009
- Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014
- Care Quality Commission (Reviews and Performance Assessments) Regulations 2018
We are seeking feedback from all providers of a regulated activity that are registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) in England to determine:
- whether all 3 regulations meet their original objectives
- whether their scope is still appropriate and proportionate
- their impact on providers
- whether any changes are required to achieve those objectives with a system that imposes less regulation or to change what the regulations prescribe
