Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Order)
On 1st April 1996 the new Welsh Health Authorities established under the Health Authorities Act 1995 take over responsibility for the discharge of health functions previously discharged by District Health Authorities and Family Health Service Authorities. This Order continues in force the National Health Service (Appointment of Consultants) (Wales) Regulations 1983 (SI 1983/1275) so that they apply to the new Welsh Health Authorities (article 3). The 1983 Regulations make provision with respect to the appointment of consultants by Welsh District Health Authorities, in particular, concerning the procedure to be followed.
The Order also makes transitional provision with respect to appointments to the post of Chief Administrative Medical Officer and Director of Public Health Medicine by the new Welsh Health Authorities before 1st May 1996 (article 4). It enables action taken by a Welsh District Health Authority with respect to such an appointment to be treated for the purposes of the 1983 Regulations as action taken by a new Welsh Health Authority.
