Introduction
The Health and Personal Social Services (Quality, Improvement and Regulation) (Northern Ireland) Order 2003 (“the Order”) was made on 27 February 2003.
This Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared by the Department of Health, Social Services and Public Safety (DHSSPS) in order to assist the reader of the Order. The Memorandum does not form part of the Order.
The Memorandum needs to be read in conjunction with the Order. It does not give, and is not meant to be, a comprehensive description of the Order. So where an Article or part of an Article does not seem to require any explanation or comment, none is given.
