Schedules Schedule 1: Further Provision about the Commissioner for Patient Safety Amendments to primary legislation
Paragraph 5 makes various amendments to primary legislation relating to the Commissioner for Patient Safety.
	Paragraph 5(1) amends Schedule 1 to the Public Records Act 1958 to include the Commissioner for Patient Safety. This provides for the Commissioner’s records to be regarded as public records.
	Paragraph 5(2) amends Schedule 1 to the House of Commons Disqualification Act 1975. The effect is that the Commissioner cannot also be a Member of Parliament.
	Paragraph 5(3) amends Schedule 1 to the Freedom of Information Act 2000 to bring the Commissioner within the Act’s definition of a "public authority". This makes the Commissioner subject to relevant provisions of that Act.
	Paragraph 5(4) amends section 71 of the National Health Service Act 2006 (schemes for meeting losses and liabilities etc. of certain health service bodies). This means that the Commissioner will be eligible to participate in indemnity schemes established under that section. This does not mean that the Commissioner will automatically be a member of any such scheme.
	Paragraph 5(5) amends Schedule 19 to the Equality Act 2010 (authorities subject to the public sector equality duty) to include the Commissioner.
