Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations provide for the procedure to be followed by Health Authorities and Special Health Authorities when appointing medical and dental practitioners to consultant posts in their employment.
As respects those appointments to which the Regulations apply (regulations 3 and 5), provision is made for the advertisement of vacant posts (regulation 6), for the constitution and procedure of Advisory Appointments Committees to select candidates for appointment (regulations 7 and 8, and Schedules 1 and 2), and for the candidates' subsequent appointment by Authorities to consultant posts (regulation 9).
These Regulations revoke the National Health Service (Appointment of Consultants) Regulations 1982, and two amending instruments, which are superseded by these Regulations (regulation 10), and make transitional provision in relation to appointments processes begun, but not completed, before 1st April 1996 (regulation 11).
