Explanatory note

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Order changes the areas of Cwm Taf University Local Health Board and Abertawe Bro Morgannwg University Local Health Board and also changes their names.

The principal local government area of Bridgend is transferred from Abertawe Bro Morgannwg University Local Health Board and forms part of the area of Cwm Taf University Local Health Board. Abertawe Bro Morgannwg University Local Health Board is renamed Swansea Bay University Local Health Board and Cwm Taf University Local Health Board is renamed Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Local Health Board.

Amendments giving effect to these changes are made to the Local Health Boards (Establishment and Dissolution) (Wales) Order 2009 and the Local Health Boards (Constitution, Membership and Procedures) (Wales) Regulations 2009.

Changes to local health board areas have the effect of changing the area of the relevant Community Health Councils. Accordingly, this Order amends the Community Health Councils (Establishment, Transfer of Functions and Abolition) (Wales) Order 2010 to reflect the changes in local health board areas. In addition, Cwm Taf Community Health Council is renamed Cwm Taf Morgannwg Community Health Council and Abertawe Bro Morgannwg Community Health Council is renamed Swansea Bay Community Health Council. Amendments are also made to the number of members of those Councils.

This Order also makes amendments to other statutory instruments arising from the changes described above.

The Welsh Ministers’ Code of Practice on the carrying out of Regulatory Impact Assessments was considered in relation to this Order. As a result a Regulatory Impact Assessment has been prepared as to the likely costs and benefits of complying with this Order. A copy can be obtained from the Department of Health and Social Services, Welsh Government, Cathays Park, Cardiff, CF10 3NQ.
