Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Order)

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Order is the sixth commencement order made by the Welsh Ministers under the Health and Social Care (Community Health and Standards) Act 2003 (“the Act”).

Article 2 commences, on 1 August 2014, the repeal of section 7B of the Local Authority Social Services Act 1970 under which the Welsh Ministers have the power to require, by Order, local authorities to establish complaints procedures. This power is no longer required as the Welsh Ministers are able to require local authorities to establish complaints procedures under powers in sections 114 and 115 of the Act.
