EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

The Regulation and Inspection of Social Care (Wales) Act 2016 (Consequential Amendments to Secondary Legislation) Regulations 2019 (S.I. 2019/237 (W. 56)) and the Regulated Services (Penalty Notices) (Wales) Regulations 2019 (S.I. 2019/887 (W. 159)) were made using powers in the Regulation and Inspection of Social Care (Wales) Act 2016 (anaw 2) (“the 2016 Act”).

These Regulations make amendments to the Licensing and Management of Houses in Multiple Occupation and Other Houses (Miscellaneous Provisions) (Wales) Regulations 2006 (S.I. 2006/1715 (W. 177)) and the Independent Review of Determinations (Adoption and Fostering) (Wales) Regulations 2010 (S.I. 2010/746 (W. 75)) in order to correct minor errors which were made to those instruments by the Regulation and Inspection of Social Care (Wales) Act 2016 (Consequential Amendments to Secondary Legislation) Regulations 2019.

These Regulations also make a minor amendment to the Regulated Services (Penalty Notices) (Wales) Regulations 2019 to correct a cross-referencing error in regulation 8(1) of that instrument.

The Welsh Ministers’ Code of Practice on the carrying out of Regulatory Impact Assessments was considered in relation to these Regulations. As a result, it was not considered necessary to carry out a regulatory impact assessment as to the likely costs and benefits of complying with these Regulations.
