This Order brings into force section 39 of the Care Standards Act 2000 (‘the 2000 Act’) in relation to Wales. Section 39 amends section 21 of the Registered Homes Act 1984 (‘the 1984 Act’) so as to extend the meaning of ‘nursing home’. The effect of the amendment is to require a person carrying on premises used or intended to be used by a dental practitioner for the purposes of treating patients under general anaesthesia to register those premises as a ‘nursing home’ under Part II of the 1984 Act, unless the exemption applies. The exemption applies if the premises are used by a dental practitioner for the purposes of treating patients under general anaesthesia for the National Health Service.

2000 c. 14. The power is exercisable by the appropriate Minister. The appropriate Minister is defined in section 121(1). It means the National Assembly in relation to Wales; in relation to England, Scotland and Northern Ireland it means the Secretary of State. 1984 c. 23. The registration functions of the National Assembly under Part II of the 1984 Act are delegated to health authorities in Wales. Those functions were conferred upon the Secretary of State by the 1984 Act but made exercisable by the National Assembly in relation to Wales by virtue of the National Assembly for Wales (Transfer of Functions) Order 1999 (S.I. 1999/672). The National Health Service (Functions of Health Authorities and Administration Arrangements) Regulations 1996 (S.I.1996/708)) delegated the registration functions of the Secretary of State under Part II of the 1984 Act to health authorities in Wales. S.I. 1996/708 has effect in relation to Wales as if it were a delegation by the National Assembly to health authorities in Wales of those functions under the 1984 Act that were made exercisable by the National Assembly by SI 1999/672 and had previously been delegated to health authorities in Wales by S.I. 1996/708: see sections 23(3) and 43 of the Government of Wales Act 1998 (c. 38). 1998 c. 38.
