These Regulations, which apply to England only, amend the National Care Standards Commission (Fees and Frequency of Inspections) (Adoption Agencies) Regulations 2003 in order to increase by 20% the amount of the fees that voluntary adoption agencies pay to the Commission for Social Care Inspection under Part 2 of the Care Standards Act 2000. The National Care Standards Commission has been abolished and the functions it performed in relation to Part 2 of the Care Standards Act 2000, to which these fees relate, transferred to the Commission for Social Care Inspection with effect from 1st April 2004.
