Homes and the registration authority is empowered to prosecute for offences against
the regulations.
The total number of Homes now required to be registered by the Council is 10,
with a total number of 296 beds. Although not previously required to register, there
have been two non-profit making Homes in the Borough who elected to do so in the
past. They did this because they felt that inspection by the Council assisted them in
maintaining a high standard. The following is a list of Nursing Homes in the Borough.
