These Regulations further amend the Health Authorities (Membership and Procedure) Regulations 1996 (“the principal Regulations”).

Under regulation 14(3) of the principal Regulations the majority of the members of a committee or sub-committee of a health authority must, subject to certain exception, be persons who do not provide, or assist in providing, Part II services. These Regulations make provision for a further exception in the case of committees known as primary care groups appointed in accordance with directions given by the Secretary of State.
