Commentary on Sections Care Quality Commission Section 87 – Rights of appeal
501.This section creates a right of appeal for individuals against whom the CQC requires action to be taken.  This is in anticipation of a new registration requirement for providers of health or adult social care services, to be set in secondary legislation, that their directors (or persons of equivalent position) must be fit and proper persons.  Where CQC decides to impose a condition on a registered provider requiring removal of an individual director who was not considered to be a fit and proper person to fulfil their role, this section gives the individual a right of appeal against CQC’s decision.
