answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/11/2015 answer text <p>The Care Quality Commission (CQC) is the independent regulator of health and adult social care in England. Under the Health and Social Care Act 2008 all providers of regulated activities, have to register with CQC and meet a set of fundamental standards of safety and quality below which care should never fall.</p><br /><p>The Department is responsible for setting in legislation both the scope of registration and the fundamental standards that registered providers must meet. These are set out in the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014.</p><br /><p>The scope of registration is proportionate to risk and based on the activity being carried out rather than the setting. Day centres that carry on a regulated activity are required to register with CQC and to meet the fundamental standards. In most instances they will be registered to provide the regulated activity of personal care.</p><br /><p>The Department keeps the regulated activities under review to ensure that regulation by CQC is focused on those areas where the risks to service users are greatest. The Department has no current plans to require all providers of day centres to register with CQC.</p><br /><p><strong></strong></p><p><strong></strong></p> answering member constituency Ipswich answering member printed Ben Gummer question first answered 24/11/2015 17:01:24 answering member 3988 label Biography information for Ben Gummer

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what his policy is on compulsory redundancies in the NHS.
tabling member constituency	Sheffield, Heeley

uin	188
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/06/2015 answer text <p>Compulsory redundancies are normally only made as a last resort by National Health Service employers. In order to make best use of public money and to retain valuable skills and knowledge within the NHS, organisations will initially consider a range of alternatives to help reduce the number of compulsory redundancies. This may include cutting vacant posts and seeking volunteers. Organisations may also run a voluntary severance scheme to free up posts into which staff who would otherwise be redundant could be re-deployed.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Staff are not entitled to a redundancy payment if they unreasonably refuse either to apply for, or accept, suitable alternative employment within their own or other NHS employer; or where they obtain suitable alternative employment with the same or another NHS employer within four weeks of their termination date.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>New NHS redundancy terms came in to effect on 1 April 2015 and include limiting payments to a maximum of £160,000 for employees earning £80,000 or more and who have at least 24 years of service. The Government announced plans in the Queen’s speech to legislate to put an end to taxpayer funded six figure redundancy payments.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Ipswich answering member printed Ben Gummer question first answered 02/06/2015 15:30:53 answering member 3988 label Biography information for Ben Gummer
