The Health and Social Care (Community Health and Standards) Act 2003 (Consequential Provisions – Appointments) Order 2004
This Order makes minor consequential amendments to the General Dental Council (Constitution) Order 2002. The amendments are necessary as a result of the coming into force of section 187(8) of, and Schedule 12 to, the Health and Social Care (Community Health and Standards) Act 2003 which, amongst other things, amend the Dentists Act 1984 to provide that lay members of the General Dental Council will be appointed by the Privy Council rather than Her Majesty on the advice of Her Privy Council.
