# The Health Professions Council (Constitution) (Amendment) Order 2013, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the Health Professions Council (Constitution) Order 2009 (S.I. 2009/1345) (“the 2009 Order”).
The Health Professions Council was renamed the Health and Care Professions Council as from 1st August 2012 (see section 214 of the Health and Social Care Act 2012 (c. 7)). As a result of that change, article 2 of this Order amends the name of the 2009 Order to reflect that new name. Article 2 also reduces the constitution of the Council from 20 to 12 and its quorum from 11 to 7.
