General Section 42: Former health care providers and social landlords: modifications
111.This section confers power on the Assembly to make regulations modifying the application of the Act in respect of complaints made against former family health service providers in Wales, former independent providers in Wales and former social landlords in Wales. This will give the Assembly power to modify appropriately the application of the Act where a complaint is made against a person who was at the time of the action complained of a family health service provider in Wales, an independent provider in Wales or a social landlord in Wales but subsequently ceased to be such a listed authority. For example, it will enable the Assembly to modify sections 16 (reports of investigations); 17 (as it relates to publicising reports: health care providers); and section 19 (action following receipt of a report) in such cases.
