1 Any document made or other thing done by the Regional Board in relation to the Local Commissioning Groups, if in effect immediately before the dissolution of the Board, continues to have effect to the same extent and subject to the same provisions.

2 Sub-paragraph (1)—

a does not apply if the context requires otherwise, and

b is subject to any power conferred on the Department by paragraphs 1 to 9 to make other provision.

Power of Department to dissolve the continued Groups¶

^I74^I56211

1 The following provisions cease to have effect on such day as the Department may by regulations appoint—

a section 9(2), (3)(a), (4), (5) and (6)(a) and (c) of the 2009 Act;

b paragraphs 8 to 11(1) of Schedule 1 to the 2009 Act, so far as those paragraphs apply to, or relate to, the Local Commissioning Groups and their members;

c section 3 and this Schedule;

d the Local Commissioning Groups (Number, Area and Functions) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2009;

e the Membership Regulations.

2 Accordingly, on the day appointed under sub-paragraph (1), the Local Commissioning Groups are dissolved.

3 The Department may not make regulations under sub-paragraph (1) unless the Department makes, or has made, regulations under section 15B(1) of the 2009 Act, as inserted by section 4(1) of this Act (establishment of local area bodies).

4 Regulations under sub-paragraph (1) are subject to negative resolution.

5 But sub-paragraph (4) does not apply if a draft of the regulations (whether alone or with other provision) has been laid before, and approved by a resolution of, the Assembly.

SCHEDULE 3 ¶

Transfer of assets, etc

Section 5.

Transfer of assets and liabilities¶

^I1511

1 A scheme may designate the assets or liabilities to be transferred—

a by specifying them or describing them in particular;

b by identifying them generally by reference to a specified part of the Regional Board’s undertaking, or their connection with the exercise of specified functions of the Board; or

c in any other manner appearing to the Department to be appropriate in relation to the assets or liabilities in question.

2 A scheme may provide for the transfer of—

a assets and liabilities which would not otherwise be capable of being transferred;

b assets and liabilities arising in the period after the making of the scheme and before the transfer date;

and accordingly, a scheme has effect in relation to the assets or liabilities to which it applies in spite of any provision or rule of law which would otherwise prevent or restrict the transfer of those assets or liabilities.

3 A scheme may contain supplementary, incidental, transitional and consequential provisions.

4 A certificate issued by the Department that—

a any assets or liabilities specified in the certificate have vested in a person mentioned in section 5(2) by virtue of a scheme;

b any assets or liabilities specified in the certificate have not so vested in such a person,

is conclusive evidence for all purposes of that fact.

5 In this Schedule—

“scheme” means a scheme under section 5;
“transferee”, in relation to any assets or liabilities transferred by a scheme, means the person to whom those assets or liabilities are transferred.

Transfer of employed staff¶

^I4972

1 This paragraph applies if rights and liabilities under a contract of employment are transferred by virtue of a scheme.

2 The Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006 (S.I. 2006/246) apply to the transfer whether or not the transfer would, apart from this paragraph, be a relevant transfer for the purposes of the Regulations.

3 The scheme must—

a in relation to each transferee, identify the transferring employees (whether by name or otherwise);

b include provision securing pension protection for such employees;

c include provision for procedures designed to resolve any grievances of such employees arising in relation to matters dealt with by the scheme; and

d include provision for the payment of compensation by the Department to any such employee who suffers loss or detriment in consequence of the scheme.

4 Before making the scheme the Department must consult—

a in the case of a scheme which identifies transferring employees by name, those employees; and

b in the case of a scheme which identifies transferring employees in any other way, such persons as appear to the Department to be representative of transferring employees.

5 For the purposes of this paragraph—

a “pension protection” is secured for a transferring employee if after the change of employer effected by the scheme the employee has, as an employee of the transferee, rights to acquire pension benefits and those rights are the same as or (taken as a whole) no less favourable than those that the transferring employee had as an employee of the Regional Board;

b “transferring employee” means an employee whose contract of employment becomes, by virtue of sub-paragraph (2), a contract of employment with a transferee; and

c employment in the Northern Ireland civil service for the purposes of the Department is to be treated as employment by the Department under a contract of employment (and the terms of that employment are to be regarded as constituting the terms of that contract).

6 Procedures under sub-paragraph (3)(c) must involve consideration of grievances by a person other than—

a a member, or member of staff, of the Regional Board or a transferee; or

b a member of staff of the Department.

Continuity¶

^I5373 A transfer by virtue of a scheme does not affect the validity of anything done by, or in relation to, the Regional Board before the transfer date.

^I5074 Anything which—

a before the transfer date was done by or in relation to the Regional Board for the purposes of or otherwise in connection with anything transferred by virtue of a scheme, and

b is in effect immediately before the transfer date,

continues to have effect to the same extent and subject to the same provisions as if it had been done by, or in relation to, the transferee.

^I4675 Anything (including any legal proceedings) which—

a relates to anything transferred by virtue of a scheme, and

b is in the process of being done by or in relation to the Regional Board immediately before the transfer date,

may be continued by or in relation to the transferee.

^I1126

1 In any statutory provision or statutory document—

a which relates to anything transferred by virtue of the scheme, and

b which is in effect immediately before the transfer date,

any reference to the Regional Board is to be construed, in relation to any time after the transfer date, as or as including a reference to the transferee.

2 Sub-paragraph (1) does not apply—

a to a reference if specific provision for that reference is made by or under this Act; or

b if the context requires otherwise.

SCHEDULE 4 ¶

Transitional provision

Section 6.

PART 1 Accounts and reports of the Regional Board¶

^I4471

1 The Department must make arrangements for—

a a statement of accounts; and

b a report,

to be prepared in relation to the Regional Board for the relevant period.

2 The statement of accounts and report may—

a be in such form, and

b contain such information,

as the Department consider appropriate.

3 The Department must, within such time after the end of the relevant period as it considers appropriate, send a copy of the statement of accounts to the Comptroller and Auditor General.

4 In this paragraph “the relevant period” means the period—

a beginning on the 1st April 2021; and

b ending immediately before the date on which the dissolution of the Regional Board by section 1 comes into operation.

5 The Comptroller and Auditor General must—

a examine and report on any copy of the statement of accounts received under sub-paragraph (3); and

b send a copy of the report to the Department.

6 The Department must lay before the Assembly—

a a copy of the statement of accounts;

b a copy of the Comptroller and Auditor General’s report;

c a copy of the report mentioned in sub-paragraph (1)(b).

7 In this paragraph “the Comptroller and Auditor General” means the Comptroller and Auditor General for Northern Ireland.

PART 2 Other transitional provision¶

General provision¶

^I453^I2442

1 In any statutory provision or statutory document, any reference to the Regional Board, in relation to any time after the dissolution date, is to be read as a reference to the Department.

2 Anything which was done before the dissolution date by or in relation to the Regional Board, if in effect immediately before that day, is to continue to have effect to the same extent and subject to the same provisions as if it had been done by, or in relation to the Department.

3 Anything (including any legal proceedings) in the process of being done by or in relation to the Regional Board immediately before the dissolution date may be continued by or in relation to the Department.

4 Sub-paragraphs (1) to (3) do not apply—

a to a reference, or thing done, if specific provision for that reference, or thing, is made by or under this Act; or

b if the context requires otherwise.

5 Nothing in this Act or regulations under it affects the validity of anything done by, or in relation to, the Regional Board before the dissolution date.

6 In this paragraph “the dissolution date” means the date on which the dissolution of the Regional Board by section 1 comes into operation.

Specific provision¶

^I283^I683

1 This paragraph applies to any authorisation under Article 3(1) of the 1994 Order that is in effect on the day on which the repeal of that Article comes into operation and provides for an HSC trust to exercise any function other than a social care and children function (within the meaning of Article 10A of the 1991 Order).

2 The authorisation has effect after that day, so far as it relates to that function, as if it were a delegation direction under Article 10B(1) of the 1991 Order.

3 Accordingly, so far as is necessary for the purposes of sub-paragraph (2)—

a any provision made by such an authorisation in relation to the Regional Board has effect in relation to the Department;

b any reference to the Regional Board is to be read as, or as including, a reference to the Department;

c (in accordance with paragraph (b)) any reference to a function exercised on behalf of the Regional Board is to be read as, or as including, a reference to a function exercised on behalf of the Department.

4 Anything which before that day was done by or in relation to the Regional Board in relation to any function exercised on its behalf by an HSC trust by virtue of such an authorisation, if in effect immediately before that day, is to continue to have effect to the same extent and subject to the same provisions as if it had been done by, or in relation to, the Department.

5 Anything (including any legal proceedings) in the process of being done by or in relation to the Regional Board immediately before that day may, so far as it relates to any function exercised on behalf of the Board by an HSC trust by virtue of such an authorisation, be continued by or in relation to the Department.

6 Any reference in any statutory provision or statutory document to an authorisation under Article 3(1) of the 1994 Order is to be read as, or as including, a reference to a delegation direction under Article 10B(1) of the 1991 Order.

^I72^I554

1 This paragraph applies to any direction that was given under Article 57C(1) of the 1972 Order and is in force on the date on which paragraph 25 of Schedule 1 comes into operation.

2 Any direction to which this paragraph applies is to continue in force after that date (unless revoked) as if it were a scheme made under that Article as amended by paragraph 25 of Schedule 1.

^I165^I2905

1 This paragraph applies to any scheme that was made under an order under Schedule 9 to the 1972 Order and is in force on the date on which paragraph 51 of Schedule 1 comes into operation.

2 Any scheme to which this paragraph applies is to continue in force after that date as if it were a scheme provided for in regulations made by the Department under paragraph 1A of Schedule 9 to the 1972 Order.

3 Nothing in sub-paragraph (2) prevents the Department from revoking such a scheme by regulations made under paragraph 1A of Schedule 9 to the 1972 Order.
