Commentary on Sections The Council for the Regulation of Health Care Professionals Section 28: Complaints about regulatory bodies
162.This section provides for the Secretary of State to set up in regulations a complaints scheme under which the Council would acquire powers to investigate complaints about the regulatory bodies.   The intention is that this should be used as a power to investigate maladministration, not a means of overturning the decisions of ‘fitness to practise’ committees.  These regulations are to be made by the affirmative resolution procedure.
