National Health Service (Functions of the Common Services Agency) (Scotland) Amendment Order 2006 (SSI 2006/560)

A number of points arise on the order. Does anyone want to list them?

I am sure that you can do that, convener.

We will ask the Executive to confirm that section 10(4) of the National Health Services (Scotland) Act 1978 is the correct enabling power and, if so, to explain the omission from the preamble of a recital of the consultation requirement imposed by it. We will also ask it to explain why section 105(7) has not been cited as an enabling power, given that the parent act predates the Interpretation Act 1978.

The order is the fifth amendment to the regulations. We will shortly be entering discussions with the Executive on consolidation. I suggest that we note the order and include it in our list of examples to discuss. Is that agreed?

Members indicated agreement.
