Health and Social Care Bill

The draft registration requirement, which I quoted to the Committee, is to ensure that people have their health or social care needs assessed. It states that it may be a registration requirement—the document is out for consultation. In the previous debate, I made it clear that the scope for the periodic reviews, special reviews and investigations included in the Bill could, if the commission so required, include the broader scope of whether the needs were being met in a particular area with particular requirements.
