The National Health Service (Joint Working and Delegation Arrangements) (England) (Amendment) Regulations 2023
Section 65Z5(1) of the National Health Service Act 2006 (c. 41) gives certain bodies, including NHS England and integrated care boards, the power to arrange for their functions to be exercised by, or jointly with, one or more specified bodies (“the joint working and delegation power”). The National Health Service (Joint Working and Delegation Arrangements) (England) Regulations 2022 (“the Joint Working Regulations”) disapply the joint working and delegation power in respect of specified functions of NHS England. These Regulations amend the Joint Working Regulations to prescribe additional functions to which the joint working and delegation power does not apply.
