Question
To ask the Scottish Government what consideration it has given to establishing a regulatory body in Scotland that provides guidelines to the operators and/or owners of retirement villages.
Answer
We have no plans to introduce a regulatory body to provide guidelines to the operators and/or owners of retirement villages. Existing regulatory frameworks for property factors, planning, building standards already exist. Providers of housing and housing services in the private sector, including operators of retirement villages, are expected to comply with these regulations.
