EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Order)

The Rules contained in the Schedule to this Order amend the Health and Care Professions Council (Registration and Fees) Rules as set out in the Schedule to the Health and Care Professions Order of Council 2003 (S.I. 2003/1572), by including additional provisions in relation to the information that the Health and Care Professions Council (“HCPC”) may require (by notice at any time) to determine whether there is appropriate cover under an indemnity arrangement in force in relation to a registrant who is practising as a member of one of the relevant professions, or person seeking registration to practise as such. The Rules also require a registrant to notify the HCPC immediately if such cover ceases to be in place.
