unstar this property 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>

unstar this property 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>

unstar this property answer text <p>There are no such plans. The Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) has recently written to its external partners to provide reassurances about the proposed changes to midwifery supervision regulation and confirmed that there will be:</p><p>― No change to the protected title of ‘midwife’. Also the protected function of ‘attendance on a woman in childbirth’ will remain. Other than in an emergency or as part of training, only a midwife or medical practitioner can deliver a baby.</p><p>― No change to the scope of midwifery practice, which is much wider than the narrow protected function and is reflected in the standards of competence for registered midwives and their Code.</p><p>On 21 April, the Department launched a consultation on the proposed changes to the NMC’s governing legislation to remove midwifery supervision from statute. The proposals do not suggest that midwifery supervision and the education and training to support this role will cease to exist, but that the additional tier of regulation for midwives will be removed resulting in a clear separation of the role and purpose of the supervision and regulation of midwives. The consultation closes on 17 June 2016.</p>
