EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations.)


These Regulations amend the Northern Ireland Social Care Council (Appointments and Procedure) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2001 (the principal Regulations) which make provision concerning the membership and procedure of the Northern Ireland Social Care Council ("the Council") established under Part I of the Health and Personal Social Services Act (Northern Ireland) 2001.

They amend regulation 4 of the principal Regulations to provide that where a person is disqualified for appointment as chairman or as a member of the Council because of dismissal from paid employment with a health service body or a health and social services body this disqualification does not apply where the dismissal was found to have been unfair in industrial proceedings (regulation 3).

They also amend regulation 6 of the principal Regulations to enable the Department to terminate the appointment of the chairman or a member where that person fails, without the consent of the Council, to attend three consecutive meetings of the Council (regulation 5).

The Regulations also correct a number of drafting defects in the principal Regulations.
