Sch 5 para 4
(1) The Welsh Ministers must, before they make regulations under paragraph 3, consult such bodies as they may recognise as representing persons who, in their opinion, are likely to be affected by the regulations. (2) The Welsh Ministers must, before they give directions to a Special Health Authority under paragraph 3(12) in respect of any officer of a Special Health Authority— (a) consult the officer about the directions, (b) satisfy themselves that the Special Health Authority of which he is an officer has consulted the officer about the placing or employment in question, or (c) in the case of a direction under paragraph 3(12)(a), consult with respect to the directions such body as they may recognise as representing the officer. (3) But if the Welsh Ministers— (a) consider it necessary to give directions under paragraph 3(12)(a) for the purpose of dealing temporarily with an emergency, and (b) have previously consulted bodies recognised by them as representing the relevant officers about the giving of directions for that purpose, the Welsh Ministers may disregard sub-paragraph (2) in relation to the directions.
