Care Standards Act 2000 Explanatory Notes

Section 35  Death of registered person

113.Subsection (1) enables the appropriate Minister to make provision in regulations for what is to happen in a case where a person who was the only person registered in respect an establishment or agency dies. This might be the case if a person carrying on a care home is also in control of its day to day running. The personal representatives will be required to notify the registration authority. Subsection (2) enables the regulations to specify the period during which the personal representatives will be allowed to carry on the business. The regulations will permit the registration authority to decide whether it is appropriate for a personal representative or relative to carry on running the establishment or agency for a further period.
