(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations revoke the HIV Testing Kits and Services Regulations 1992 (the "1992 Regulations") in relation to England only. The 1992 Regulations provide that it is an offence, subject to various exceptions:
to sell or supply an HIV testing kit or component to a member of the public;
to sell or supply an HIV testing kit without an accompanying warning notice; and
to provide HIV testing services which are not directed by a registered medical practitioner.
In addition, the 1992 Regulations place restrictions on advertisements for such kits, components and services.
An assessment of the impact of these Regulations on the private sector has been made. A copy of this impact assessment is published with the Explanatory Memorandum alongside the instrument on www.legislation.gov.uk. Copies may also be obtained from the Department of Health, Richmond House, 79 Whitehall, London, SW1A 2NS.
1988 c. 49. These functions of the Secretary of State, so far as exercisable in relation to Scotland, transferred to the Scottish Ministers by section 53 of the Scotland Act 1998 (c. 46). These functions, so far as exercisable in relation to Wales, are now vested in the Welsh Ministers. They were previously transferred to the National Assembly for Wales by article 2(a) of, and Schedule 1 to, the National Assembly for Wales (Transfer of Functions) Order 1999/672. By virtue of section 162 of, and paragraph 30 of Schedule 11 to, the Government of Wales Act 2006 (c. 32), these functions were transferred to the Welsh Ministers.
