§ Mr. HinchliffeTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what are the mechanisms for(a) registering and (b) inspecting the care provided to residents of sheltered housing schemes.
§ Mr. BowisI have been asked to reply.
There is no requirement for the registration and inspection of the care provided to residents of sheltered housing schemes, unless they provide residential accommodation, board and personal care for residents. Any such establishments providing all those services would count as a residential care home and be subject to registration and inspection by the social services authority in the same way as other such homes.
