This Order makes transitional provisions. Persons providing the support service mentioned in article 2(3) are deemed on 22nd December 2003 to have registered that service under Part I of the Regulation of Care (Scotland) Act 2001 (asp 8). Article 2(2) provides the circumstances in which a service will cease to be deemed to be registered. Deemed registration is to last for six months or, where the provider has applied to the Care Commission for registration, for a further six months.
The Order also revokes the Regulation of Care (Scotland) Act 2001 (Transitional Provisions) Order 2003 (S.S.I. 2003/574) which is defective.
