Ms Laura Casey:

Ms O'Reilly might correct me on this. There are two main sets of SIs on care and welfare, which are regulations from 2013, in addition to the designated centres regulations. They have not been amended very much in recent times. There have been a number of quite small amendments to the care and welfare regulations. We have worked up an informal consolidation to assist people to understand the regulations.

The Minister hopes to publish revised regulations around complaints and access to advocacy services in the coming days. We hope to include those in the informal consolidated version of the regulations. The Act is reasonably old at this point, dating from 2007, the regulations were made in 2013, and there has not been much legislative change in the period since. It is timely that we are reviewing the legislation applying to the sector.
