The Special Health Authority known as the Health Research Authority (“the Special Health Authority”) is abolished by section 109(3) of the Care Act 2014 on 1st January 2015. On the same day, a new body corporate is to be established to be known as the Health Research Authority (“the HRA”). This Order makes provision for the transfer of staff (article 2) and property, rights and liabilities (article 3) from the Special Health Authority to the HRA on that date. Article 4 makes provision for the HRA to take the necessary action in the winding up of the Special Health Authority’s affairs. Article 5 enables the Health Service Commissioner to investigate any complaint in relation to the Special Health Authority after the transfer date. Article 6 makes provision for the HRA to handle any complaints in relation to the Special Health Authority after that date. Article 7 makes provision for the continuity of things done by, or in relation to, the Special Health Authority. Article 8 and the Schedule to the Order make amendments and revocations consequential on the abolition of the Authority.
