| Annotation | The Registered Homes Act 1984 and the Nursing Homes and Mental Nursing Homes Regulations 1984 are to be repealed in April 2002. The Care Standards Act 2000 (CSA) provides for a Director of Private and Voluntary Care within the National Care Standards Commission (NCSC), and the development of regulations and national minimum standards. The Act also requires health care providers to ensure the provision of quality care, and to be accountable for the care provided on their premises. This consultation document comprises draft versions of the Private and Voluntary Health Care (England) Regulations 2001 and the National Care Standards Commission (Director of Private and Voluntary Health Care) Regulations 2001, both due to come into force on 1 April 2002. These National minimum standards apply to establishments such as acute hospitals and hospices. The standards cover: information provision; quality of treatment and care; management and personnel; complaints management; premises, facilities and equipment; risk management procedures; records and information management; and research.
