EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the Local Authorities (Public Health Functions and Entry to Premises by Local Healthwatch Representatives) Regulations 2013 (S.I. 2013/351) (“the principal Regulations”).

The principal Regulations were amended by S.I. 2015/921 so as to prescribe steps that a local authority must take to secure that certain health and development reviews (referred to as “universal health visitor reviews”) are offered to or for the benefit of pregnant women or children under five in the local authority’s area at specified stages in the development of the pregnant woman or child.

Regulation 5C of the principal Regulations provides that the Secretary of State may review the operation of the universal health visitor reviews and specifies requirements relating to such a review. Regulation 5C is revoked by regulation 2(2) of these Regulations.

The duties of local authorities under the principal Regulations expire on 31 March 2017.

Regulation 8A of the principal Regulations provides that the provisions relating to universal health visitor reviews, including the review provision in regulation 5C, cease to have effect on 31 March 2017. Regulation 8A is revoked by regulation 2(2) of these Regulations. Therefore, local authorities will remain under the duty imposed by the principal Regulations to take steps to provide or secure the provision of universal health visitor reviews.

An assessment of the impact of this instrument on the private sector and civil society organisations has been made. A copy of this impact assessment is annexed to the Explanatory Memorandum. Copies may be obtained by writing to the Department of Health, Richmond House, 79 Whitehall, London SW1A 2NS.

Asesiadau Effaith

Impact Assessments generally accompany all UK Government interventions of a regulatory nature that affect the private sector, civil society organisations and public services. They apply regardless of whether the regulation originates from a domestic or international source and can accompany primary (Acts etc) and secondary legislation (SIs). An Impact Assessment allows those with an interest in the policy area to understand:

  • Why the government is proposing to intervene;
  • The main options the government is considering, and which one is preferred;
  • How and to what extent new policies may impact on them; and,
  • The estimated costs and benefits of proposed measures.
