However, the NMC does publish information about fitness to practise (FtP) allegations, hearings, outcomes and sanctions elsewhere on its website in accordance with its FtP publication and disclosure policy. Where a GMC registrant is erased from the medical register, their record remains and could be found in a register search with details of the FtP sanction. </del><ins class="ministerial">Both of these regulators maintain public records about individuals who have been struck off or erased from their professional registers and these records are available through their respective websites.</ins></p><p>It is a matter for the regulators themselves to determine how they manage their publication and disclosure policy in relation to fitness to practice, within the legislative frameworks in which they operate.</p> answering member constituency Ipswich answering member printed Ben Gummer question first answered 11/01/2016 17:09:48 question first ministerially corrected 02/02/2016 11:46:58 answering member 3988 label Biography information for Ben Gummer previous answer version 38218 answering member constituency Ipswich answering member printed Ben Gummer answering member 3988 label Biography information for Ben Gummer

Such services will have six months to improve. If they fail to do so, their registration may be cancelled and they will exit the market. If they show significant improvement after six months, they will have a further six months to demonstrate that they can maintain that improvement. If they do, they will leave special measures. If they do not, they will exit the market.</p><br /><p>People can be confident that there is now a strict time limit under which providers must improve or cease to operate.</p><br /><p>The CQC will continue use its full range of enforcement powers, including removing providers immediately from the market if necessary. It will also use the special measures system to help tackle those services which, whilst not being so poor as to warrant immediate closure, have ratings that vary continually between Inadequate and Requires Improvement.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 11/01/2016 17:15:25 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt
