(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the transitional provisions in article 2 of the Regulation of Care (Scotland) Act 2001 (Transitional Provisions and Revocation) Order 2003 (S.S.I. 2003/587) (“the principal Order”).
Article 2 of the principal Order has the effect that where a person was providing on 22nd December 2003 a support service providing personal care or support to a person within that person’s home, that service is deemed to be registered under Part 1 of the Regulation of Care (Scotland) Act 2001 (asp 8). Deemed registration will cease under the principal Order on 22nd June 2004 unless the person providing the service has applied before that date for registration under that Act, in which case it will cease on 22nd December 2004.
This Order amends the references to the dates in Article 2(2) of the principal Order by substituting references to provide that deemed registration will cease on 30th September 2004 unless the person providing the service has applied before that date for registration under that Act, in which case it will cease on 31st March 2005.
