A new registration system

From 1 April 2010, the regulation of health and adult social care will change. Legislation is bringing in a new system that applies to all regulated health and adult social care services.

All health and adult social care providers, who provide regulated activities, will be required by law to register with the Care Quality Commission. New registration comes into effect on 1 April 2010 for NHS trusts (including primary care trusts) and 1 October 2010 for adult social care and independent healthcare providers.
