The Order also brings into force sections 8 to 11 (inclusive) (except to the extent that the provisions inserted by section 9 refer to the provision of vouchers, and section 11(4) which relates to regulations made by the Secretary of State), which contain provision as to charging for carers' services, minor and consequential amendments, financial provision and interpretation and as to the use of regulation making powers.
