2006 c. 43 . The powers of the Secretary of State under the provisions of the National Health Service Act 2006 under which these Regulations are made are exercisable only in relation to England by virtue of section 271(1) of that Act. However, paragraph 8 of Schedule 2 to the National Health Service (Consequential Provisions) Act 2006 specifically saves the effect of article 2(c) of the National Assembly for Wales (Transfer of Functions) Order 1999 ( S.I. 1999/672 ), so that for a function relating to a cross-border Special Health Authority which cannot be exercised specifically for Wales, the Secretary of State or Welsh Ministers can exercise the function concurrently.
