(1)

2006 c.41 (“the 2006 Act”). The 2006 Act, which consolidated certain enactments relating to the health service, came into force on 1 March 2007. The origins of section 28(1) and (2) of the 2006 Act were section 11(1) and (2) of the National Health Service Act 1977 (c.49) (“the 1977 Act”). The origins of section 272(7) and 273(1) of the 2006 Act were section 126(3) and (4) of the 1977 Act. The functions of the Secretary of State under these provisions in the 2006 Act are exercisable only in relation to England. The exercise of these functions in relation to Wales is exercisable by Welsh Ministers under section 22 of the National Health Service (Wales) Act 2006 (c.42) (“the 2006 Wales Act”). The references to and functions of “Welsh Ministers” in the 2006 Wales Act are treated at the date of the making of this Order as references to and functions of the National Assembly for Wales as constituted by the Government of Wales Act 1998 (c.38) in accordance with the modifications contained in section 5 of and paragraph 10 of Schedule 3 to the National Health Service (Consequential Provisions) Act 2006 (c.43).
