Government Response: SL(6)410 – The Regulated Services (Special School Residential Services) (Wales) Regulations 2023

Technical Scrutiny point: The definition of “hospital” which is referred to is taken verbatim from paragraph 9 of Schedule 1 to the Regulation and Inspection of Social Care (Wales) Act 2016. It is acknowledged that it is of assistance to the reader for signposting of references to provisions in other Acts to be done as accurately as possible and reference to the specific section numbers would have provided greater assistance.

It is not clear that this is something which properly falls within the ambit of Standing Order 21.2(v) as drafting whose form or meaning requires further explanation.
