- the changes made to the system of scrutiny of the health service by Part 5 of the Act including, in particular, amendments to section 244 of the 2006 Act to provide for health scrutiny functions to be conferred directly on local authorities;
- the abolition of two Special Health Authorities (the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence and the Health and Social Care Information Centre) and their replacement by two new non-Departmental Public Bodies (the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence -� see Part 8 of, and Schedules 17 and 18 to, the Act, and the Health and Social Care Information Centre -� see Chapter 2 of Part 9 of, and Schedules 18 and 19 to, the Act); and
