# The Health Act 2009 (Commencement No. 4) (Wales) Order 2023, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order is the fourth commencement order made by the Welsh Ministers under the Health Act 2009 (“the Act”).
This Order brings into force section 31(2) of the Act, which amends section 107(9) of the National Health Service (Wales) Act 2006 (“the 2006 Act”). Section 107 of the 2006 Act confers a power on Local Health Boards to remove a practitioner from a pharmaceutical or ophthalmic list where certain conditions are met. Section 31(2) of the Act amends the definition of “practitioner” in section 107(9) of the 2006 Act to clarify that references to practitioners in Chapter 2 of Part 8 of the 2006 Act are to practitioners included in a pharmaceutical list or an ophthalmic list.
