  "text": "(This note is not part of the Order)\nThis Order specifies certain bodies as “organisations” for the purposes of paragraph 3(4) of Schedule 4A to the Police Act 1996, which was inserted by section 29 of the Police and Justice Act 2006. Paragraph 3 of Schedule 4A imposes a duty on Her Majesty’s Chief Inspector of Constabulary to prevent or limit certain proposed inspections of specified organisations in order to prevent an unreasonable burden being imposed on those organisations. The specified organisations are the bodies listed in article 2 of this Order.\nThe specification has an effect if a person or body falling within paragraph 3(2) of Schedule 4A proposes to inspect one of the specified organisations. The persons or bodies in paragraph 3(2) are: Her Majesty’s Chief Inspector of Prisons; Her Majesty’s Chief Inspector of the Crown Prosecution Service; Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of the National Probation Service for England and Wales; the Commission for Healthcare Audit and Inspection; and the Audit Commission for Local Government and the National Health Service in England and Wales.\nIf Her Majesty’s Chief Inspector of Constabulary considers that the proposed inspection by one of these persons or bodies would impose an unreasonable burden on one of the specified organisations, listed in article 2, Her Majesty’s Chief Inspector of Constabulary must give notice to that person or body not to carry out the proposed inspection or not to carry it out in a particular manner.",
