Grahame M. Morris – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the Department of Health

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Grahame M. Morris on 2014-06-26.

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, when he expects the Care Act 2014 Part 1 regulations to be laid before the House.

Norman Lamb

Subject to the Parliamentary timetable, we intend to lay the final regulations in October 2014 and publish the statutory guidance at the same time. We are committed to setting out the detail of secondary legislation and statutory guidance six months in advance of when most of Part 1 of the Care Act comes into force (April 2015), in order to give local authorities and their partners as much time as possible to plan for implementation.
