Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the Social Care Wales (Proceedings before Panels) Regulations 2016 (“the 2016 Regulations”).

Regulations 10, 23 and 34 of the 2016 Regulations are amended to enable Social Care Wales to apply through the Civil Procedure Rules to the High Court or County Court for a witness summons. The amendment is made in relation to a registration appeals panel, a fitness to practise panel and an interim orders panel.

The Welsh Ministers’ Code of Practice on the carrying out of Regulatory Impact Assessments was considered in relation to these Regulations. As a result, a regulatory impact assessment has been prepared as to the likely costs and benefits of complying with these Regulations.
