(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the Regulation of Care (Fees) (Scotland) Order 2003 (S.S.I. 2003/152) ("the principal Order") by prescribing the maximum fees which may be imposed by the Scottish Commission for the Regulation of Care in respect of applications for registration or for cancellation of registration of a care at home service, the annual continuation of any such registration, and applications for variation or removal of a condition of registration under the Regulation of Care (Scotland) Act 2001 (asp 8) ("the Act").
The maximum fees are set out in the table at article 2(3).
The Order also removes certain definitions in the principal Order which are no longer appropriate, given that the definition of support services in section 2(2) of the Act now comprises a care at home service as well as a day care service. The principal Order prescribed fees in respect of a day care service (termed "small support service" and "other support service" in the principal Order). This Order amends the principal Order so as to prescribe the fees in respect of a care at home service and to restate those in respect of a day care service. The fees in respect of a day care service remain unchanged. It is only the terminology which has changed.
