EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations suspend certain provisions in the Coronavirus Act 2020 (“the 2020 Act”) which modify certain duties of local authorities in relation to adult social care under Parts 3 and 4 of the Social Services and Well-being (Wales) Act 2014.
Regulation 2 provides for the suspension of the operation of Part 2 of Schedule 12 to the 2020 Act (powers and duties of local authorities in Wales) and section 15 of the 2020 Act (local authority care and support), so far as it relates to Part 2 of Schedule 12.
The suspension of the operation of these provisions means that they no longer have effect in Wales but are capable of being revived under section 88(3) of the 2020 Act.
The Welsh Ministers’ Code of Practice on the carrying out of Regulatory Impact Assessments was considered in relation to these Regulations. As a result, it was not considered necessary to carry out a regulatory impact assessment as to the likely costs and benefits of complying with these Regulations.
