The Secretary of State, in exercise of the power conferred upon him by paragraph 3(7) of Schedule 12 to the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999[1], hereby makes the following Order: 1. This Order may be cited as the Detention Centre (Specified Diseases) Order 2001 and shall come into force on 2nd April 2001. 2. The diseases listed in the Schedule to this Order are specified for the purposes of paragraph 3(7) of Schedule 12 to the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999 (diseases which might endanger the health of others).

Paragraph 3 allows a detainee custody officer at a detention centre to require a detained person to submit to a medical examination at the centre so long as an authorisation is in force (given by the manager of the centre) and there are reasonable grounds for believing that the individual is suffering from a disease which the Secretary of State considers might endanger the health of others there.
