If a CQC inspection identifies instances of non-compliance with the HSCA and Regulations then appropriate regulatory action will be taken. The CQC's <em>Essential Standards of quality and safety</em> require that women undergoing termination of pregnancy know that “they are able to discuss their choices and decisions with a trained counsellor” and “where services are provided to children or people with a learning disability, the counsellor available has relevant experience in discussing termination of pregnancy with them”. For other forms of counselling which are registered activities under the 2008 Act and regulations, CQC takes a similar approach to judgement and action.</p> answering member constituency Battersea answering member printed Jane Ellison question first answered 14/05/2014 12:00:00 answering member 3918 label Biography information for Jane Ellison
