Appeals
12.—(1) Section 68 of the Care Standards Act 2000(1) (appeals to the Tribunal) continues to have effect in relation to a decision of the GSCC made before 1st August 2012 in relation to a transferred person or a person subject to a removal order as if that section had not been amended by paragraph 16 of Schedule 15 to the Health and Social Care Act 2012.
(2) But from 1st August 2012—
(a)the respondent to an appeal under that section made or continued by virtue of paragraph (1) is to be treated as being the HCPC rather than the GSCC, and
(b)the HCPC (or its relevant committee) is to be treated as having made the decision in question, and as having the power to implement the decision of the Tribunal (or any decision made on a further appeal from the Tribunal).
2000 c.14. Section 68 was amended by S.I. 2007/3101.
