Explanatory note

These Regulations amend The Regulation of Care (Registration and Registers) (Scotland) Regulations 2002 (“the principal Regulations”).

The Regulations apply the principal Regulations to limited registration services. They extend the definition of provider in the principal Regulations to include a limited registration service (regulation 2(1)(a)). They also provide that the Care Commission is to maintain a separate register in respect of providers of a limited registration service (regulation 2(3)) and that register shall contain certain particulars (regulation 2(1)(d)). They further provide that a certificate of registration, where it relates to a limited registration service, is to contain certain information (regulation 2(1)(b) and (c)).
