Fifth Delegated Legislation Committee: The draft Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) (Amendment) Regulations 2026

Parliamentary debate

Parliament will debate draft regulations amending the Health and Social Care Act 2008 to update rules governing regulated health and social care activities. These regulations set minimum standards for providers delivering care services, including registration, inspection, and safety requirements that apply across the health and social care sector.

These regulations directly affect how health and social care providers—including hospitals, care homes, mental health services, and domiciliary care agencies—must operate. Changes could impact service quality, safety standards, and compliance costs for thousands of care organisations nationwide, ultimately affecting patient and service user safety and provider viability.
