This Order brings into force Part 1 of the Local Government and Public Involvement in Health Act 2007 (c. 28) (“the Act”) together with related consequential amendments and repeals in Schedules 1 and 18 to the Act. Part 1 of the Act makes provision enabling structural and boundary changes for local government in England. Until such time as any changes are made under the provisions of Part 1, existing local government structures and boundaries need to be retained, and this Order makes savings (by article 3) for that purpose.
