  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations)\nThese Regulations amend the Social Care Wales (Specification of Social Care Workers) (Registration) Regulations 2016.\nSection 80(1)(b) of the Regulation and Inspection of Social Care (Wales) Act 2016 (“the Act”) requires Social Care Wales to keep a register of social care workers of such description as may be specified by the Welsh Ministers.\nThese Regulations specify an additional description of social care workers in respect of which Social Care Wales must keep a register, namely those who are employed or engaged by a regulated domiciliary support service to provide care and support to persons referred to in paragraph 8 of Schedule 1 to the Act.\nThe 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. A copy can be obtained from the Department of Health and Social Services, Welsh Government, Cathays Park, Cardiff, CF10 3NQ.",
