(This note does not form part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the National Health Service (Functions of Health Authorities and Administration Arrangements) Regulations 1996 by providing for health authorities in Wales to exercise the National Assembly’s function of providing hospital facilities pursuant to section 4 of the National Health Service Act 1977. The relevant services are in relation to persons who are liable to be detained under the Mental Health Act 1983 and who are considered to require treatment under conditions of high security on account of their dangerous, violent or criminal propensities.
The exercise of the function of providing such high security psychiatric services is limited by these Regulations to NHS contracts with Ashworth, Broadmoor or Rampton Hospital Authority or an NHS trust in Wales approved by the National Assembly, or in England approved by the Secretary of State.
