  "long_title": "These Regulations establish a scheme in the area in the West of England encompassed within postcode districts commencing with “PL”, “TR”, “TQ” and “EX” to provide benefits for pregnant women, mothers and children (“the Healthy Start scheme”). They are the first set of regulations made under new powers in section 13 (benefits under schemes for improving nutrition: pregnant women, mothers and children) of the Social Security Act 1988 (“the 1988 Act”). Section 13 of the 1988 Act was replaced by wording in section 185 of the Health and Social Care (Community Health and Standards) Act 2003 (replacement of the Welfare Food Schemes: Great Britain). The Regulations also amend the Welfare Food Regulations 1996 (“the 1996 Regulations”).",
