Health and Social Care Bill

moved Amendment No. 153: 153: Schedule 9, page 169, line 30, leave out ““any description of social care worker”” and insert ““social care workers of any description”” The noble Earl said: This is a very simple drafting amendment. Paragraph 2 of Schedule 9 says: "““Regulations may make provision for the following matters (among others) …""(b) the keeping of registers of any description of social care worker””." I think that there is a certain ambiguity there over whether the registers or the social workers are to be described, and I therefore suggest that the wording could be clarified helpfully. I beg to move.
