# The National Health Service (Quality Accounts) Amendment Regulations 2011, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the National Health Service (Quality Accounts) Regulations 2010.

It also increases the maximum statement length by other bodies to 1000 words, requires additional information to be provided in relation to priorities for improvement and makes other amendments to the Schedule which sets out the information to be contained in Part 2 of the accounts.
A full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
