A consultation on the framework for the registration of health and adult social care providers follows on from the previous consultation on the future regulation of health and adult social care (November 2006), and the response to that consultation, which was published in October 2007. It seeks views on: which health and adult social care services should require registration with the Care Quality Commission; and what the requirements for registration should be. It also seeks views on when providers of regulated services should be required to have a registered manager, and how primary care services should be included in the new registration system.

A partial Impact Assessment of the Scope of Registration of Primary Medical and Dental Care has been completed as part of this consultation.
