Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order corrects an error in the Health Care and Associated Professions (Miscellaneous Amendments) Order 2008 (Commencement No. 2) Order of Council 2008 (“the principal Order”), which brought into force the repeal of The General Optical Council (Committee Constitution Rules) Order of Council 2005f1 (“the 2005 Order”) on 1st April 2009 by mistake.

The principal Order, amongst other matters, brings into force changes to the constitutional arrangements of the General Optical Council and its statutory committees. However, the Rules scheduled to the 2005 Order have in fact been amended, rather than being repealed, as part of the programme of revision of those constitutional arrangements – the amendments are scheduled to the General Optical Council (Committee Constitution) (Amendment) Rules Order of Council 2008f2. The commencement of the repeal of the 2005 Order has therefore needed to be removed from the principal Order.
