Commentary on Sections Part 3 - Health Schedule 5 – Health Education England Arrangements with devolved authorities
564.Paragraph 17 gives HEE a power to exercise on behalf of a devolved authority any functions which are similar to HEE’s functions. There are occasions where UK wide co-operation and activity is required to support education and training, for example in planning for the medical workforce. This will allow HEE to lead work of this nature on behalf of the devolved authorities in circumstances where all parties have agreed to this. Sub-paragraph (2) makes provision for HEE to receive payment from the devolved authorities for any costs incurred under such arrangements.
