3 Primary and other functions of health authorities etc. and exercise of functions.1

Any reference in this Act to the primary functions of a Health Authority or Special Health Authority is a reference to those functions for the time being exercisable by the Health Authority or Special Health Authority by virtue of—

a

directions under section 11 or 13 of the principal Act;

b

section 15 or Part II of the principal Act; or

c

any provision of this Act (apart from subsection (2) below).

2

In addition to carrying out its primary functions, a Health Authority or Special Health Authority may, as the provider, enter into an NHS contract (as defined in section 4 below) under which the goods or services to be provided are of the same description as goods or services which the Health Authority or Special Health Authority already provides or could provide for the purposes of carrying out its primary functions.

3

In section 16 of the principal Act (exercise of functions), in subsection (1) for the words from “an Area”, in the first place where they occur, to “Health Authority” in the second place where those words occur, there shall be substituted “a Regional or District Health Authority, or exercisable by a Regional or District Health Authority by virtue of any prescribed provision of this or any other Act, or exercisable by a Family Health Services Authority under Part I of the National Health Service and Community Care Act 1990”.

4

In section 17 of the principal Act (directions as to exercise of functions), in subsection (1) after the words “sections 13 to 16 above” there shall be inserted “and may also give directions with respect to the exercise by health authorities or Family Health Services Authorities of functions under the National Health Service and Community Care Act 1990”.

5

Nothing in this section or in the principal Act affects the power of a Health Authority or Special Health Authority at any time to provide goods or services under the principal Act for the benefit of an individual where—

a

the provision of those goods or services is neither within the primary functions of the Health Authority or Special Health Authority nor carried out pursuant to an NHS contract; but

b

the condition of the individual is such that he needs those goods or services and, having regard to his condition, it is not practicable before providing them to enter into an NHS contract for their provision.

6

In any case where—

a

a Health Authority or Special Health Authority provides goods or services for the benefit of an individual as mentioned in subsection (5) above, and

b

the provision of those goods or services is within the primary functions of another authority which is a Health Authority or Special Health Authority or is a function of a health board,

the Health Authority or Special Health Authority providing the goods or services shall be remunerated in respect of that provision by that other authority or health board.

6A

The reference in subsection (6) above to a function of a health board shall, in relation to a Health and Social Services Board constituted under the Health and Personal Social Services (Northern Ireland) Order 1972, be construed as a reference to a primary function of such a Board within the meaning of Article 9 of the Health and Personal Social Services (Northern Ireland) Order 1991.

7

The rate of any remuneration payable by virtue of subsection (6) above shall be calculated in such manner or on such basis as may be determined by the Secretary of State.

8

In any case where—

a

a Health Authority or Special Health Authority provides goods or services for the benefit of an individual, and

b

the provision of those goods or services is not pursuant to an NHS contract, and

c
