The Local Authority Social Services (Designation of Functions) Order 1989
The councils of non-metropolitan counties, metropolitan districts and London boroughs and the Common Council of the City of London are each required by the Local Authority Social Services Act 1970 to establish a social services committee. This Order places within the responsibility of that committee certain functions of those authorities under the Disabled Persons (Services, Consultation and Representation) Act 1986 and under the Access to Personal Files Act 1987.
