Does the Welsh Government have any plans to expand the Health and Social Care (Wales) Act 2025 to protect other parts of the care sector from for-profit exploitation?

There are no current plans to extend the relevant provisions within the Health and Social Care (Wales) Act 2025 to other children’s services or beyond children’s services. Implementation of these elements of the Act is ongoing and moving forward we will review their impact before considering whether any further changes are needed. There are also fundamental, material, structural and other differences between children’s and adult social care to consider.
