The regulations and national minimum standards are the responsibility of the Secretary of State for Health, but it is the responsibility of the National Care Standards Commission to apply them to the individual establishments and agencies it regulates. The Commission will therefore advise on the regulations’ and standards’ applications in particular circumstances. Other queries – for example about the policies behind the regulations and standards – can be addressed to the Department of Health at this email address: dhmail@doh.gsi.gov.uk.
