To ask the Secretary of State for Health if the consultation document, "Deregulation: a Model Appeals Mechanism, Model Provisions with Regard to Appeals against Enforcement Action" applies to residential care homes and services for children under eight years. [27276]

Mr. Bowis

In "Moving Forward", the consultation document for the current review of regulation and inspection of social services, we have asked for views on what changes are necessary to current regulatory arrangements to ensure that enforcement mechanisms are fair and effective with particular reference to the principles set out in section 5 and schedule 1 of the Deregulation and Contracting Out Act 1994.
