Health and Social Care (Community Health and Standards) Act 2003

Section 94: Reviews and investigations

216.Section 94 gives the Assembly similar functions of undertaking reviews and investigations of Welsh social services authorities to those is given to the CSCI in relation to English authorities under sections 79 and 80. However, the provisions are less prescriptive under section 94 to take account of the fact that the Assembly is itself also a central governmental body and to provide it with the flexibility to decide how to discharge its function of undertaking reviews and investigations. For example: the Assembly does not have a duty to undertake annual reviews, it may (rather than must) award performance ratings to local authorities, and no provision is necessary to provide links between the Assembly and a central governmental body.
