Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations abolish all requirements under the Care Standards Act 2000, and the Children Act 1989 for fees to be paid in respect of registration with the National Assembly for Wales (“the Assembly”). They also abolish the requirement for annual fees to be paid in respect of inspections by the Assembly of local authority adoption and fostering services under the Health and Social Care (Community Health and Services) Act 2003, and of boarding schools and colleges under the Children Act 1989. These Regulations also abolish, as a ground for cancellation of registration, the non payment of fees by providers.
