(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order, made under the Digital Switchover (Disclosure of Information) Act 2007 (c. 8) (“the Act”), amends the Digital Switchover (Disclosure of Information) Act 2007 (Prescription of Information) Order 2007 (SI 2007/1768) (“the Prescription Order”).
The Prescription Order prescribes the descriptions of information that the Secretary of State may supply pursuant to the Act for the purposes of help to be provided to individuals under the Digital Switchover Help Scheme. This Order amends the Prescription Order’s definition of a ‘care home’ and an ‘independent hospital’ in relation to Scotland to take account of Scottish legislative changes.
