# The Public Interest Disclosure (Prescribed Persons) (Amendment) Order 2009, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the Public Interest Disclosure (Prescribed Persons) Order 1999 (S.I. 1999/1549). It adds to the list of prescribed persons in that Order—
the Independent Regulator of NHS Foundation Trusts, and
the Financial Reporting Council Limited and its operating bodies the Professional Oversight Board, the Financial Reporting Review Panel and the Accountancy and Actuarial Discipline Board.
It also specifies the descriptions of matters in respect of which those persons are prescribed.
Section 43F of the Employment Rights Act 1996 (c.18) provides a worker with the right not to suffer a detriment as a result of making a qualifying disclosure to a prescribed person in accordance with the requirements of that Act. The 1999 Order prescribes those persons and specifies the matters for which those persons are prescribed.
An Impact Assessment has not been produced for this Order as it has no impact on the costs of business, charities or voluntary bodies.
