Mark Brough has told me that the regulations are already in force, as the instrument was laid under the negative procedure. That means that a new instrument will have to be laid.
The question concerns the interaction between schemes for establishing community health partnerships under new section 4A(1) of the National Health Service (Scotland) Act 1978, which is introduced under section 2 of the bill, and the regulations made by the Scottish ministers under new section 4A(5).
However, given the pressures on the legislative programme, it would be fair to say that it may be some time before we can expect new legislation to replace the Civil Defence Act 1948.
