Regulation and Inspection of Social Care (Wales) Act 2016

24 Urgent cancellation or variation: notification and appeals

(1) As soon as is practicable after an order is made under section 23 the Welsh Ministers must give a notice to the service provider to whom the order relates explaining—

(a) the terms of the order, and

(b) the right of appeal conferred by subsection (2).

(2) No later than 14 days after the day on which the notice given under subsection (1) is given, the service provider may appeal to the tribunal against the making of the order.

(3) But the tribunal may allow an appeal to be made after the expiry of that 14 day period if it is satisfied that there is a good reason for the failure to appeal before the expiry of that period (and for any delay in applying for permission to appeal out of time).

(4) On an appeal under subsection (2), the tribunal may—

(a) confirm the order;

(b) revoke the order;

(c) make such other order (including an interim order) as the tribunal thinks appropriate.

(5) An interim order of the tribunal may, among other things, suspend the effect of an order made under section 23 for such period as the tribunal may specify.
