Our aim is to make sure that better care is provided for everyone, whether it is in hospital, primary care, care homes, peoples own homes, or anywhere else that care is provided. The Health and Social Care Act 2008 requires us to introduce a new regulatory system that brings the NHS, independent healthcare and adult social care under a single set of essential standards of quality and safety for the first time. This letter is to inform you that from 1 April 2012 all providers whose sole or main purpose is to provide NHS primary medical services are legally required to be registered with us and to do so they must show that they meet these essential standards of care. Some providers are already registered with us. For example, all NHS trusts and primary care trusts providing services came into the new regulatory system from 1 April 2010 and independent healthcare providers, including some that offer primary medical services, came in from 1 October 2010. You can find out more about the essential standards of quality and safety on our website at:  HYPERLINK "http://www.cqc.org.uk/guidanceaboutcompliance" www.cqc.org.uk/guidanceaboutcompliance. What is registration? Registration assures the public that a provider has a legal licence to operate and that it is meeting essential standards of quality and safety. It is the individual, partnership or organisation that is legally responsible for the service that must register. Registration with the General Medical Council (GMC) assures the public that individual medical professionals are fit to practice. CQC and the GMC have agreed a memorandum of understanding, published on our website, to ensure that there is no overlap of accountability, and wherever possible we will try to avoid duplicating requirements. It is important to note that providers only need to apply for registration once; it is not an annual exercise. Our focus then shifts to monitoring your services to check that you continue to meet the essential standards. There is no fee to apply to register. However, annual fees will become payable from 1 April 2012. We will consult separately on our fees scheme in Autumn 2011. Information and guidance We are working with primary medical care providers and other stakeholders to ensure our registration process is fair and robust. This includes our provider reference group see below for details of how you can join and help influence our work. We will keep you informed as we finalise further details of the process. In the meantime, the enclosed factsheet will give you an overview. How to keep in touch We will write to you again in March with more details about registration. To keep up to date with the latest information, you can: Visit our website  HYPERLINK "http://www.cqc.org.uk/primarymedicalservices" www.cqc.org.uk/primarymedicalservices. Join our provider reference group an online community offering you the opportunity to engage with our work through a variety of methods including surveys, discussion forums and polls. You can learn more and sign up at  HYPERLINK "http://www.cqc.org.uk/prg" www.cqc.org.uk/prg. If you have any further queries about registration, please contact our National Contact Centre on 03000 616161 or email  HYPERLINK "mailto:2012registration@cqc.org.uk" 2012registration@cqc.org.uk. Yours sincerely  Linda Hutchinson Director Care Quality Commission      To ensure we have the most up-to-date contact details for primary medical services, initially we are using data from the Organisation Data Service (ODS) current GP practice database to write to providers. We will continue to do so until we begin our formal enrolment and validation process in summer 2011. If the details we have used in the correspondence are incorrect, we would be grateful if you would inform ODS direct on  HYPERLINK "mailto:exeter.helpdesk@nhs.net" exeter.helpdesk@nhs.net or telephone 01392 251 289. >?VWX°wcwK*CJOJQJ^JaJmH sH &h5h55>*OJQJ^JmH sH &h5h&/5>*OJQJ^JmH sH &h5h'5>*OJQJ^JmH sH  h'5>*OJQJ^JmH sH #hf>hh\5OJQJ^JmH sH  hf>hh\OJQJ^JmH sH hUiOJQJ^JmH sH  hf>h)=POJQJ^JmH sH h&/OJQJ^JmH sH  ?WX u v cgd&/gdRgd5gd$a$gd5gdh\@&gdKXi> L    % & ; ȷyhZZIZ hf>hAOJQJ^JmH sH hAOJQJ^JmH sH  hf>hAOJQJ^JmH sH  hf>h}OJQJ^JmH sH  hf>hg'OJQJ^JmH sH hOJQJ^JmH sH hAOJQJ^JmH sH hhOJQJ^JmH sH hAOJQJ^JhOJQJ^JhOJQJ^JhhOJQJ^JhhX_OJQJ^J    * I R S \ l w x ӱ£Ӈyh±W‡ hf>hEOJQJ^JmH sH  hf>hROJQJ^JmH sH hDlOJQJ^JmH sH hOJQJ^JmH sH h8OJQJ^JmH sH hOJQJ^JmH sH  hf>hqu+OJQJ^JmH sH  hf>hh\OJQJ^JmH sH hOJQJ^JmH sH hAOJQJ^JmH sH  hf>hIOJQJ^JmH sH   I J K q r t v PĶċĶyhZhZLZLZh; h@'hnOJQJ^JmH sH hAOJQJ^JmH sH hOJQJ^JmH sH  h@'hg'OJQJ^JmH sH #hf>hh\5OJQJ^JmH sH $hhbh50JOJQJ^JmH sH /jhhbh5OJQJU^JmH sH h5OJQJ^JmH sH #jh5OJQJU^JmH sH h&/OJQJ^JmH sH hKDOJQJ^JmH sH h5OJQJ^JmH sH PX޼sbTC1#hh5OJQJ^JmH sH  hf>hOJQJ^JmH sH hROJQJ^JmH sH  hf>hD$OJQJ^JmH sH h8OJQJ^JmH sH hyOJQJ^JmH sH  hf>hROJQJ^JmH sH hOJQJ^JmH sH hOJQJ^JmH sH  hf>hnOJQJ^JmH sH  h@'h@'OJQJ^JmH sH  h@'hnOJQJ^JmH sH  h@'hOJQJ^JmH sH ."#Uacd  udSdBdBd hf>hf>OJQJ^JmH sH  hf>h=OJQJ^JmH sH  hf>hROJQJ^JmH sH #hf>h5OJQJ^JmH sH  hAh&/OJQJ^JmH sH h-OJQJ^JhDlOJQJ^Jh5OJQJ^Jh&/OJQJ^Jh&/5OJQJ^JmH sH h]5OJQJ^JmH sH #hh5OJQJ^JmH sH hy5OJQJ^JmH sH cd}/0  #@&gd]gdh\gdh\h^hgdhh^hgdZTF & FgdZTFgdZTFgdgd@&gdgd*+-19:JL_`˺˺˺xj\KK hf>h6h%OJQJ^JmH sH h8OJQJ^JmH sH hw>OJQJ^JmH sH #hf>hZTF5OJQJ^JmH sH  hf>hAOJQJ^JmH sH  hf>h 2OJQJ^JmH sH hf>OJQJ^JmH sH  hf>hOJQJ^JmH sH  hf>hf>OJQJ^JmH sH  hf>hROJQJ^JmH sH #hf>hR5OJQJ^JmH sH `a5,-./0ᢺ~f~Q)hf>hhB*OJQJ^JmH phsH /j:hf>hZTFOJQJU^JmH sH  hhOJQJ^JmH sH $hf>hZTF0JOJQJ^JmH sH /jhf>hZTFOJQJU^JmH sH )jhf>hZTFOJQJU^JmH sH #hf>hZTF5OJQJ^JmH sH  hf>hZTFOJQJ^JmH sH hOJQJ^JmH sH 0w  #,CwfSA#hf>hh\5OJQJ^JmH sH $jhf>hh\UmHnHsH u hf>hOJQJ^JmH sH $h_hw>0JOJQJ^JmH sH /j h_hw>OJQJU^JmH sH  hw>hw>OJQJ^JmH sH hw>OJQJ^JmH sH #jhw>OJQJU^JmH sH hOJQJ^JmH sH h'OJQJ^JmH sH  hf>hh\OJQJ^JmH sH #,DEFGHIKMNPQSTVWXfghijxgd\gd;]H@&gdCEIJKLNOQRTUX(HMYbcr}~-/01Ƶr\*jh4hN<6OJQJU^Jh `YhN<6OJQJ^JjhN<6OJQJU^Jh6h%hN<6OJQJ^JhN<6OJQJ^JhojhoU hf>h6h%OJQJ^JmH sH 4jhf>hOJQJU^JmHnHsH tH uh&/OJQJ^JmH sH  hf>h;]HOJQJ^JmH sH $1HIefhij¾ hf>h6h%OJQJ^JmH sH hhN<h6h%hN<6OJQJ^JhN<6OJQJ^JjhN<6OJQJU^Jh4hN<0J6OJQJ^J21h:p#_.
