(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Public Services Reform (Social Services Inspections) (Scotland) Regulations 2011 by making provision for certain types of care services to be inspected at least once in every 12 month period and for these inspections to be unannounced.
The types of care services subject to this minimum frequency of inspection are care home services, secure accommodation services and support services by which personal care and support is provided to an individual in that individual’s own home.
