Will the Minister give an indication as to when the responses to the consultation on the phase 2 implementation of the Regulation and Inspection of Social Care (Wales) Act 2016 will be published, and when the finalised regulations and statutory guidance will be issued?

We intend to publish consultation summary reports in respect of both the phase 2 consultations (Service and Workforce) next month. After being revised to take account of the consultation outcomes, regulations placing requirements on Service Providers and Responsible Individuals will be laid in mid-November. A revised draft of the accompanying statutory guidance will also be made available at this time.
