This order is the Health (Cancellation of Division of District Health Boards into Constituencies) Order 2004.

2 Commencement

This order comes into force on the 28th day after the date of its notification in the Gazette.

3 Interpretation

In this order, the constituencies order means the Health (Constituencies of District Health Boards) Order 2001.

4 Division of DHBs into constituencies cancelled

(1)

The division into constituencies (effected by clause 4 of the constituencies order) of the DHBs named in column 1 of the Schedule of the constituencies order is cancelled.

(2)

The constituencies order is revoked.

5 Saving

Until the members elected at the triennial elections of members of DHBs under the Local Electoral Act 2001 next held after the commencement of this order take office, nothing in this order affects the continuing representation of a constituency created by clause 4 of the constituencies order by a member of a DHB holding office—

Explanatory note

This note is not part of the order, but is intended to indicate its general effect.

This order, which comes into force 28 days after notification in the Gazette, cancels the division of the geographical areas of District Health Boards into constituencies for the purpose of the election of members.

The effect is that members elected in the triennial elections that are to be held in 2004 under the single transferable vote system will be elected “at large” (that is to say, by all the electors of the geographical area of the Board concerned) rather than by the electors of 1 constituency only.

Issued under the authority of the Legislation Act 2019.

Date of notification in Gazette: 25 March 2004.
