(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends Schedule 1 to the Civil Contingencies Act 2004 (which lists Category 1 and Category 2 responders for the purposes of Part 1 of that Act). The Order provides that the Health Protection Agency is a Category 1 responder only in so far as its functions relate to Great Britain. It also amends Schedule 1 so as to provide that Strategic Health Authorities are Category 2 responders.
A full regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as it has no impact on the costs of business.
