  "text": "(This note is not part of the Order)\nParagraph 6(1) of Schedule 4 to the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (“the 2008 Act”) imposes a duty on the Care Quality Commission to prevent or limit certain proposed inspections of specified organisations where it considers that the inspection would impose an unreasonable burden on the specified organisation, or would do so if carried out in a particular way.\nA specified organisation is a person or body specified by order made by the Secretary of State. Article 2 of this Order specifies certain persons and bodies for the purposes of paragraph 6 of Schedule 4 to the 2008 Act.\nSome of the bodies specified in article 2 are described by reference to registration as service providers under the 2008 Act. It is not anticipated that this system of registration will be fully in operation until 1st October 2010. Article 3 of this Order sets out transitional provisions for the period from 9th April 2010 to 30th September 2010 which specify the relevant bodies in a way compatible with the system of registration which will continue to apply until 30th September 2010.\nArticle 4 specifies those cases in which a notice may not be given by the Care Quality Commission under paragraph 6(1) of the 2008 Act.\nA short impact assessment of the effect that this instrument will have on the costs and benefits to the Care Quality Commission and the service providers specified is available on the Department of Health website at\nwww.dh.gov.uk/en/Publicationsandstatistics/Legislation/Regulatoryimpactassessment/DH111389 and is annexed to the Explanatory Memorandum which is available alongside the instrument on the OPSI website.",
