A grant of registration may be subject to such conditions as SCSWIS thinks fit.

If SCSWIS is satisfied, in relation to an application, that the requirements of—

a

such regulations as are applicable under section 78 to the care service, and

b

any other enactment which appears to SCSWIS to be relevant,

will be complied with in relation to that service, it must give notice under section 71(1), or as the case may be section 73(1); otherwise it must give notice under section 71(2).

4

On granting a registration, SCSWIS must issue a certificate of registration to the applicant.
