These Regulations amend the Velindre National Health Service Trust Shared Services Committee (Wales) Regulations 2012 (“the principal Regulations”) specifically regulations 2 and 7 of the principal Regulations.

Regulation 2 amends the definition of “chief officers” in the principal Regulations to include the chief officer or chief executive of a Special Health Authority in Wales. Regulation 2 also amends the definition of “nominated representative” in the principal Regulations to include a nominated officer of each Special Health Authority.

Regulation 3 amends regulation 7 of the principal Regulations to include in regulation 7(2) a reference to a chief officer or chief executive of a Special Health Authority, and in regulation 7(3) and (4) a reference to an officer member of the chief officer or chief executive’s Special Health Authority.

The Welsh Ministers’ Code of Practice on the carrying out of Regulatory Impact Assessments was considered in relation to these Regulations. As a result, it was not considered necessary to carry out a regulatory impact assessment as to the likely costs and benefits of complying with these Regulations.
