Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations bring into force section 95 (information standards) of the Health and Care Act
2022 (c. 31)
(“
the 2022 Act
”) on
7th July 2025
(regulation 2). The Regulations are the 10th set of commencement regulations to be made under the 2022 Act. These Regulations also make transitional and saving provision in connection with the coming into force of section 95 of the 2022 Act.

Section 95 of the 2022 Act makes certain amendments to the Health and Social Care Act
2012 (c. 7)
 (“
the 2012 Act
”). This includes an amendment to section 250 of the 2012 Act to make information standards prepared and published under that section applicable to any person who is carrying out a regulated activity as defined in Chapter 2 of Part 1 of the Health and Social Care Act
2008 (c. 14)
, as well as to require persons to whom information standards apply to comply with them.

Section 95 of the 2022 Act also substitutes section 251 of the 2012 Act to require the Secretary of State to make regulations about the procedure to be followed in connection with the preparation and publication of information standards. Section 95 of the 2022 Act also introduces a new section 251ZA into the 2012 Act to enable the Secretary of State to require persons to provide information to enable the Secretary of State to monitor compliance with information standards.

Regulation 3 makes transitional and saving provision to ensure that, for the purposes of any information standard published under section 250 of the 2012 Act and in effect before
7th July 2025
the 2012 Act continues to have effect as if it had not been amended by section 95 of the 2022 Act. This includes the continued application of section 250(6) of the 2012 Act which requires certain persons to have regard to information standards.
