Schedules Schedule 5: Amendments to do with Part 2
Section 61 of the Act already makes provision regarding the repeal of existing powers (in section 60, section 60A and schedule 3 of the Health Act 1999) to regulate social workers. Paragraphs 10 - 27 of this schedule amend the Health and Social Work Professions Order 2001, made under section 60 of the Health Act 1999, to repeal relevant provisions relating to the regulation of social workers in England. Paragraph 45 of the new schedule changes the title of the Health and Social Work Professions Order 2001 to the Health Professions Order 2001. Paragraphs 46 to 48 make consequential changes to the legislation referred to in those paragraphs as a result.
	As existing provisions relating to the regulation of social workers in the Health Act 1999 and the Health and Social Work Professions Order 2001 are to be repealed, consequential amendments are made by this schedule to various provisions of primary legislation, to reflect the transition that will occur from the current regulator to the new regulator. In some cases, reference to the new regulator and the new regulatory regime/new legislative framework are added to relevant legislation, either in addition to or instead of the current regulator - paragraphs 1, 4, 29, 32, 33 to 35 and 39 to 44 make such amendments. In other cases, amendments reflect that the current regulator will no longer regulate social workers (but retain the position for social workers under the relevant legislation) - paragraphs 2, 3, 5, 6, 30, 31and 36 make such amendments.
	Paragraphs 7 to 9 amend sections 55 and 67 of the Care Standards Act 2000, in order to remove social workers in England from the scope of section 67. Section 46 of this Act is intended to replace the Secretary of State's powers under section 67 of the Care Standards Act 2000 in respect of social workers.
	Paragraph 38 of this schedule repeals provisions of the Health and Social Care Act 2012 that amended legislation in 2012, as those amendments themselves will now be repealed by the amendments in this schedule.
	Paragraphs 28 and 37 of this schedule would amend section 10 of the Adoption and Children Act 2002 and section 2 of the Children and Young Persons Act 2008, respectively. These paragraphs make amendments to these provisions for immediate purposes in order to ensure that references to a registered social worker include a social worker registered with the Health and Care Professions Council and would make amendments for future purposes to ensure that such references would in future include a social worker registered with Social Work England.
