Commentary on Sections Section 9 - Amendment to the Local Authority Social Services Act 1970
26.This section adds the Carers Strategies (Wales) Measure 2010 to the list of enactments at Schedule 1 of the Local Authority Social Services Act 1970. The 1970 Act makes provision concerning the exercise of social services functions, including a requirement that Welsh local authorities in exercising their social services functions comply with guidance and directions issued by the Welsh Ministers. The inclusion of the Measure at Schedule 1 of the Act ensures that local authority functions under the Measure are social services functions for the purposes of the Act.
