14 Transitional disapplication of section 5 of the Act for existing providers located outside Wales applying to register under the Act
1 This article applies to a person who, immediately before 1 February 2018, provides a service in Wales of a sort which, after the principal appointed day, would require the person to be registered as the provider of a domiciliary support service but who is not registered under Part 2 of the 2000 Act as a person carrying on a domiciliary care agency merely because the undertaking which provides or arranges the provision of the services is not located in Wales.
2 Where a person to whom paragraph (1) applies, makes an application to register as the provider of a domiciliary support service under section 6 of the Act before 2 April 2018, section 5 of the Act does not apply to that person as regards the provision of the domiciliary support service for the places specified in the application until the application is finally determined.
3 Reference in paragraph (2) to an application being finally determined has the same meaning as in article 4(4) and (5).
