# The Substance Misuse (Formulation and Implementation of Strategy) (Wales) (Amendment) Regulations 2011, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations provide in regulation 3 for the substitution of regulation 3 in the Substance Misuse (Formulation and Implementation of Strategy) (Wales) Regulations 2007 (the “2007 Regulations”) with effect from 5 December 2011. Regulation 3 of the 2007 Regulations relates to the composition and meeting arrangements of a strategy group for each local government area, whose function is to prepare strategic assessments in accordance with regulations 5 to 7 and to prepare a partnership plan in accordance with regulations 8 and 9.
Regulation 4 of these Regulations omits the requirement in respect of a three year period in regulation 9(a) of the 2007 Regulations in connection with a partnership plan.
The Welsh Ministers' Code of Practice on the carrying out of Regulatory Impact Assessments was considered in relation to these Regulations. As a result, it was not considered necessary to carry out a regulatory impact assessment as to the likely costs and benefits of complying with these Regulations.
