The question
To ask the Scottish Executive into which category of care service, as set out in the draft statutory instrument attached as appendix A to The Regulation of Care (Scotland) Act 2001
- Regulation of Care Services by the Scottish Commission for the Regulation of Care: Proposals for Maximum Fees to be set by Scottish Ministers for 2003-04: Consultation Paper, organisations such as Crossroads would fall; what registration fees such bodies would pay, and whether such bodies would need to pay any annual continuing charge.
The answer
It is for the Scottish Commission for the Regulation of Care (the Care Commission) to determine which of the definitions in the Regulation of Care (Scotland) Act 2001 apply to any particular service. The Care Commission will take into account the service's statement of function and purpose in making this decision. Maximum fees are set each year by Scottish ministers for each type of regulated service, for applications for initial registration or cancellation of registration; for the annual continuation of registration; for applications for variation or removal of a condition of registration, and for the issue of a new certificate of registration. Each year the Care Commission sets fees for each type of regulated service within these maxima. Not all of the services defined in the act are already regulated by the Care Commission
