Existing CCW proceedings

8.—(1) This paragraph applies if immediately before 3 April 2017 a transferred person is—

(a)subject to proceedings before the Investigating Committee or the Fitness to Practise Committee of the CCW, or

(b)a person about whom the CCW has received information which might lead to such proceedings.

(2) Notwithstanding the provision made by article 2, on or after 3 April 2017 such proceedings or prospective proceedings are to be concluded by SCW in accordance with the provision made by the Care Council for Wales (Fitness to Practise) Rules 2014(1).

(1)

The Care Council for Wales (Fitness to Practise) Rules 2014 are made under sections 59 and 71 of the 2000 Act. Article 2 of this Order commences Parts 2 to 10 of the Act (subject to limited exceptions and in so far as not already in force) and also section 185 and Part 2 of Schedule 3, which repeal certain provisions within the 2000 Act. This provision saves the Rules for the purposes specified in the paragraph.
