# The Care Homes (Wales) (Amendment) Regulations 2004, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These amending Regulations remove the reference to speech therapists from the definition of “health care professional” in the Care Homes (Wales) Regulations 2002. This reflects the fact that speech therapists are now part of the profession of speech and language therapists, which is covered by section 60(2) of the Health Act 1999 as a profession regulated by the Health Professions Order 2001 (S.I. 2002 No.254).
