Part 1: Health Service in England: Integration, Collaboration and Other Changes Miscellaneous Section 88: Meaning of "health" in NHS Act 2006
This section amends section 275(1) of the NHS Act 2006 (interpretation) to clarify that "health" includes mental health. Previously provisions of the NHS Act 2006 were inconsistent about whether they mentioned mental health expressly. This amendment mitgates the risk of confusion by making the inclusion of mental health express.
