Regulatory Policy Committee statement on The Draft Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) (Amendment) (Coronavirus) Regulations 2021
This is the Regulatory Policy Committee statement on The Draft Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) (Amendment) (Coronavirus) Regulations 2021
The Draft Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) (Amendment) (Coronavirus) Regulations 2021 were debated in the House of Commons today, 13th July 2021. The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) has not yet submitted an appropriate impact assessment (IA) to the RPC for us to assess and provide an opinion on. As a qualifying regulatory provision, an IA should have been produced by the Department, submitted to the RPC for independent scrutiny, seen by ministers and presented to Parliament.
We remain open to the DHSC submitting an appropriate IA for RPC scrutiny to allow us to provide an opinion on whether it is fit for purpose or not fit for purpose.
