National Health Service (Primary Care) Act 1997 (Commencement No.10) Order 2005 No. 2925 (C. 125)

Summary:

This Order is the tenth commencement Order under the National Health Service (Primary Care) Act 1997: it brings into force certain provisions of that Act on 1st December 2005. Some of the provisions apply to England only, some to Wales only and some to England and Wales.
Article 2(a) of the Order brings into force section 21(1) and (3) of the 1997 Act for all remaining purposes in relation to England, namely in respect of personal dental services. Section 21(1) inserts new sections 28C and 28D into the National Health Service Act 1977 ("the 1977 Act"). These sections allow for arrangements to be made between specified persons for the provision of personal dental services. Article 3(a) brings the same provisions into force in relation to Wales but only in so far as they relate to personal dental services.
Article 2(b) brings into force paragraph 65(1) and (2) of Schedule 2 to the 1997 Act for remaining purposes, namely in respect of personal dental services: that paragraph makes a minor consequential amendment to the National Health Service and Community Care Act 1990 relating to the functions of an NHS Trust and arrangements under section 28C of the 1977 Act. Article 3(c) brings the same provisions into force in relation to Wales but only in so far as they relate to personal dental services.
Article 3 of the National Health Service (Primary Care) Act 1997 (Commencement No. 4) Order 1998 and article 3(1) and (2) of the National Health Service (Primary Care) Act 1997 (Commencement No. 5) Order 1998 modified references to arrangements under section 28C of 1977 Act to read as references to pilot schemes under Part 1 of the 1997 Act. Those provisions are revoked by article 4(1) of this Order in relation to Wales in so far as those provisions relate to personal dental services. These provisions have already been revoked in relation to England for both personal medical services and personal dental services by virtue of the National Health Service (Primary Care) Act 1997 (Commencement No. 9) Order 2004 (S.I. 2004/287).
The National Health Service (Primary Care) Act 1997 (Commencement No. 6) Order 1998 restricted the interpretation of references to section 28C in the Dentists Act 1984 as references to pilot schemes. Article 4(2) of this Order removes this restrictive interpretation from 1st April 2006 in relation to both England and Wales.
