By a Supplemental Royal Charter granted on 12th July 1984 the Welsh National School of Medicine, declared to be an exempt charity by the Exempt Charities Order 1962 (S.I. 1962/1343), was reconstituted as the University of Wales College of Medicine (Coleg Meddygaeth Prifysgol Cymru), a Constituent Institution of that University.
This Order declares the University of Wales College of Medicine to be an exempt charity within the meaning of the Charities Act 1960.
An exempt charity is not required to be registered with the Charity Commissioners and the Charity Commissioners cannot exercise any of their powers under that Act in relation to an exempt charity except at the request of the charity.
