Both Part III of the 1990 Act and section 1 of the 1992 Act contain amendments to Part III of the National Assistance Act 1948, and Part III of the 1990 Act also contains amendments to the Local Authority Social Services Act 1970 and to Part VII of the Health and Social Services and Social Security Adjudications Act 1983. Part III of the 1990 Act also makes provision for the preparation by local authorities of plans for community care services, for the assessment by them of people’s needs for community care services and for the transfer of staff from health authorities to local authorities. The previous Order which extended most of Part III of the 1990 Act to the Isles of Scilly is revoked (article 3).
