Welsh GP regulator Healthcare Inspectorate Wales will defer annual registration fees due from 1 April 2020 until later in the year. HIW says it will continue to monitor intelligence relating to healthcare in Wales and use this to identify patterns and concerns, taking urgent inspections and actions if we feel there is a significant risk to healthcare.

An update to its response to COVID-19 can be found online.

Advice for healthcare professionals affected by COVID-19 are available from the official COVID-19 website.

• The CQC has also published information for providers wising to make COVID-19 registrations/amendments to service provision.
