EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Commencement No.13, Transitory and Transitional Provisions and Electronic Communications) Order 2009 (S.I. 2009/3023 (C.130)) (“the original Order”) to correct a defect in the definition of “determination” in article 1(2) of that Order. The amendment provides for the definition of “determination” to include a decision to give a notice under article 7 of the original Order.
As the defect in the definition of “determination” was an oversight in the original Order, this instrument is being issued free of charge to all known recipients of the original Order.
A full regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument or the original Order as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
