(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order provides that sections 1 and 2 of the Community Care (Direct Payments) Act 1996 (“the Act”) apply to the Isles of Scilly as if the Council of the Isles of Scilly were a local authority for the purposes of those sections.

The Act enables local authorities responsible for providing (or arranging the provision of) community care services to make payments to persons in respect of their securing the provision of such services.
