298: Clause 81, page 71, leave out lines 34 to 37
Member’s explanatory statement
The intention of the amendment is to retain the existing obligations on NHS England to have regard to standards published under this section. Clause 81 (d)(6B) appears to remove the explicit obligation that previously existed under Section 250(6)(b) of Health and Social Care Act 2012 that NHS England (“the Board”) “must have regard to an information standard published under this section” and replaces it with a power for such obligations to be waived by Regulations.
