Section 126(4) was amended by s. 65(2) of the 1990 Act and by the Health Act 1999 (c. 8) (“the 1999 Act”), Schedule 4, paragraph 37(6); Schedule 5A was inserted by the 1999 Act, Schedule 1. The functions of the Secretary of State under these provisions are, so far as exercisable in relation to Wales, transferred to the National Assembly for Wales by article 2(a) of the National Assembly for Wales (Transfer of Functions) Order 1999, S.I. 1999/672 as amended by section 66(5) of the 1999 Act; these Regulations, therefore, do not extend to Wales.

Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend Schedule 1 to the Primary Care Trusts (Membership, Procedure and Administration Arrangements) Regulations 2000, which make provision relating to the membership and procedure of Primary Care Trusts, so as to provide that the chairman and members of the National Blood Authority, the National Patient Safety Agency, the National Treatment Agency and the Retained Organs Commission are not disqualified for appointment as a chairman or a member of a Primary Care Trust in England. As Schedule 1 to the Regulations (in which the list of bodies exempted from the disqualification provisions appears) was previously amended by Regulations which referred in error to the National Blood Authority as being listed in that Schedule, those Regulations are revoked (regulation 2) and in the interests of clarity the inclusion of the special health authorities mentioned above has been effected by substituting a complete list of the entries in that Schedule.
