Proposals for legislation on the regulation and inspection of care and support

The Welsh Government issued a consultation on 30 September 2013 to seek views on its proposals for legislation to enable a model of care and support based on the idea of well-being and improved outcomes for citizens, whilst ensuring that quality standards are being met by service providers and the workforce. The consultation closed on 6 January 2014. More information about the Welsh Government’s consultation is available on its website.

The National Assembly for Wales’ Health and Social Care Committee received a factual briefing from Welsh Government officials on 7 November 2013 to provide an overview of the White Paper on the Future of Regulation and Inspection of Care and Support in Wales, the strategy of the consultation and timeline for the next steps.

All information relating to the National Assembly for Wales’ consideration of the Regulation and Inspection of Social Care (Wales) Bill is available on the Bill’s homepage.
