Commentary on Sections and Schedules Part 1: the Statistics Board Section 44 Information relating to NHS registration: Wales
179.This provision replicates the effect of section 43 in respect of the information relating to those resident in Wales and registered with an NHS General Practitioner. ONS maintained the NHSCR for Wales (on behalf of the NHS in Wales). As for the NHSCR in England, the NHSCR in Wales will not be the responsibility of the new Board, so it is necessary to create an information gateway to ensure that the Board may still receive this information and use it in connection with the production of population statistics.
