Commentary on Sections Part 3 - Regulation of Health and Adult Social Care Services Licensing procedure Section 93  - Register of licence holders
772.This section requires Monitor to keep and publish a register of licence holders. The register must contain such information as Monitor thinks necessary to keep the public informed about licence holders, including details of every licence granted or revoked. The information must be available to the public for inspection at Monitor’s offices or available on request. However, there might be occasions on which it was not appropriate to release certain information to the public. Subsection (5) therefore provides for regulations setting out what information should not be accessible. Subsection (6) provides Monitor with power to charge a fee for providing a copy or extract of the register.
773.This section makes very similar provision to that for the register kept by the Care Quality Commission (see section 38 of the Health and Social Care Act 2008).
