1.-(1) The title of these Regulations is the National Health Service (Concerns, Complaints and Redress Arrangements) (Wales) (Amendment) Regulations 2011 and they come into force on 3 August 2011.
(2) These Regulations apply to services provided as part of the health service in Wales.
(3) In these Regulations "the principal Regulations" ("y prif Reoliadau") means the National Health Service (Concerns, Complaints and Redress Arrangements) (Wales) Regulations 2011(2).
2.-(1) In regulation 1(2) for "1 October 2011" substitute "1 April 2012".

(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the National Health Service (Concerns, Complaints and Redress Arrangements) (Wales) Regulations 2011 ("the principal Regulations").
Regulation 2(1) delays the coming into force of Part 7 of the principal Regulations from 1 October 2011 to 1 April 2012. Part 7 of the principal Regulations deals with how redress is to be provided where an NHS Trust in Wales or a Local Health Board in Wales enters into an arrangement for the provision of health services with an NHS body in England, Scotland or Northern Ireland.
Regulation 2(2) substitutes a new regulation 52(5) into the principal Regulations to reflect the new coming into force date of Part 7 and to apply the cross border redress arrangements in that Part to services that have been provided on or after 1 April 2012.
The Welsh Ministers' Code of Practice on the carrying out of Regulatory Impact Assessments was considered in relation to these Regulations. As a result, it was not considered necessary to carry out a regulatory impact assessment as to the likely costs and benefits of complying with these Regulations.
