Section 126(4) was amended by section 65(2) of the 1990 Act. Section 128(1) is an interpretation provision and is cited because of the meanings assigned to the words “prescribed” and “regulations”; section 128(1) was amended by section 26(2)(g) and (i) of the 1990 Act.
The functions of the Secretary of State under section 83A, 126(4) and 128(1) of the National Health Service Act 1977 were transferred to the National Assembly for Wales (“the Assembly”) by the National Assembly for Wales (Transfer of Functions) Order 1999 (SI 1999/672).
