The regulatory requirements for Care Homes are set out in the Care Homes (Wales) Regulations 2002 and under the Care Standards Act. Decisions of CSIW must be justified by reference to the Regulations and must take the national minimum standards into account. It is necessary to explore the meaning of “taking into account” the national minimum standards. The national minimum standards were introduced to bring increased consistency into regulatory practice with the overall aim of improving protection and quality of life for service users. Section 23 of the Care Standards Act 2000 requires that the CSIW takes into account the national minimum standards when making regulatory decisions.
