Care act offences of providing false information
Before we go down a misleading blind alley, I have posted elsewhere on this, but it is worth noting that the offence in Section 92 is of providing false information of a type specified in regulations (s92(1) and s92(6) and under s125(4)(m) of the Act these are regulations made by Statutory Instrument. The regulations have not (yet) been made (dealing with this is part of my day job), but based on the consultation the offence is focused heavily on information required to be provided to regulators (CQC, Monitor) or Ministers/Department of Health or required to be published publicly. It is unlikely that the regulations will initially assist in specific individual situations where erroneous information is provided in individual cases, such as that alleged by ChrisG elsewhere. The way the offence is defined it would be hard to draft regulations that would cover such cases. The background to this is a series of cases where statistics (RTT, A&E waiting times, mortality statistics) were "massaged" or even falsified rather than the individual cases referred to in TP.
Edited on 19 Jan 2015 to add: Some of the regulations for where there are powers in the Act are or have been the subject of consultation. (Link below):

This does not include any regulations under Section 125(m).
