Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the Public Health Wales National Health Service Trust (Membership and Procedure) Regulations 2009 (S.I. 2009/1385 (W. 141)) by removing the requirement for the local authority non-executive director and the university non-executive director to be nominated. These Regulations also remove the requirement for the voluntary sector non-executive director to hold a post in Wales. The university non-executive director will no longer have to be nominated by a university in Wales, or have teaching or research specialism in public health; instead all that will be required is for the person to hold a health-related post in a university.

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.
