This Order makes amendments in subordinate legislation consequential on the abolition on 1st October 2012 of the General Social Care Council (“the GSCC”), and, before that, the transfer of its register on 1st August 2012 to the Health and Care Professions Council (“the HCPC”), as the Health Professions Council will be known from that date. The Act which provides for this is the Health and Social Care Act 2012, under which this Order is made. That Act itself deals with the change of name of the Health Professions Council, by providing that in future any reference to it by that name in any instrument or document is to be read as a reference to the Health and Care Professions Council (paragraph 53(1) of Schedule 15 to the Act). That Act also re-named the main instrument under which the Health Professions Council operates: it is currently called the Health Professions Order 2001 but from 1st August it is to be known as the Health and Social Work Professions Order 2001.
