The Statutory Sick Pay (National Health Service Employees) Regulations 1991
The Regulations contained in this instrument are consequential upon the coming into force on 1st April 1991 of paragraph 16 of Schedule 6 to the Social Security Act 1990 (c.27) (which relates to statutory sick pay for National Health Service staff with divided contracts). The instrument is made before the end of the period of 6 months beginning with the coming into force of that provision; the regulations in it are therefore exempted by section 61(5) of the Social Security Act 1986 (c.50) (as amended by the Social Security Act 1989 (c.24) Schedule 8, paragraph 12(3)) from the requirement under section 10 of the Social Security Act 1980 (c.30) to refer the proposals to the Social Security Advisory Committee and are made without reference to that Committee.
