  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations)\nThese Regulations amend the Regulation of Care (Requirements as to Care Services) (Scotland) Regulations 2002 (“the principal Regulations”).\nRegulation 2(2) defines personal plans by reference to regulation 5.\nRegulation 2(3) amends regulation 1 of the principal Regulations as respects the definition of a person employed and associated expressions in the case of a care service which is an adult placement service. This will ensure that persons introduced to a service user by adult placement services are covered by references to “employed” and “positions held” in regulations 9 (fitness of employees) and 19(2)(a) to (d) (record of persons employed in the provision of a care service) of the principal Regulations.\nRegulation 2(4) and (7) disapplies from adult placement services certain requirements of regulations 4 (welfare of users) and 19 (records) of the principal Regulations.\nRegulation 2(5) inserts a new regulation 11A into the principal Regulations. It prevents the provider of an adult placement service from placing a service user in premises if there is any person living in those premises who is unfit to be in the proximity of the service user.\nRegulation 2(6) substitutes a new regulation 15 which relates to the quality of treatment and services provided by independent health care services. The new Regulation 15 requires providers of independent health care services to provide a service which is appropriate to and meets the service user’s needs reflected in the personal plan. Providers must also maintain a system to manage risk associated with the care and treatment of the user.\nProviders are also required to introduce and maintain a system of review, in consultation with service users, of the quality of their services and to report the outcome of such review to the Commission and service users.",
