(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order, which comes into force on 13th January 1994, modifies certain redundancy payments provisions of the Employment Protection (Consolidation) Act 1978 (“the 1978 Act”) in their application to persons employed in relevant health service (service with the employers referred to in the Appendix to Schedule 2 to the Order) so that a change of employer does not break continuity for the purposes of the redundancy payments provisions of the 1978 Act.

The 1978 Act has been modified in the same way by the Redundancy Payments (Local Government) (Modification) Order 1983 (SI 1983/1160) (as amended by SI 1985/1872, 1988/907, 1989/532, 1990/826, 1432, 1991/818 and 1993/784) in relation to persons employed in relevant local government service.
