The Treasury, having regard to information contained or to be contained in resource accounts of the Department of Health prepared pursuant to section 5 of that Act (departmental accounts), considers that the preparation of summarised accounts for the bodies listed in the Schedule to this Order is unnecessary for the financial year ending on 31st March 2006.
The Treasury has consulted the Comptroller and Auditor General, the National Assembly for Wales and the Auditor General for Wales in accordance with section 14(3) and (4) of that Act.
Accordingly the Treasury makes the following Order:

EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order dis-applies the requirement in section 98(4) of the National Health Service Act 1977 (c.49) for the Secretary of State to prepare in respect of each financial year, summarised accounts of Special Health Authorities listed in the Schedule, and to send those accounts to the Comptroller and Auditor General (C&AG) for him to audit.
This Order provides that the requirement shall not apply to the Special Health Authorities listed in the Schedule for the financial year ending 31st March 2006. For that financial year, the accounts of those Special Health Authorities will be incorporated into the resource accounts of the Department of Health. The C&AG audits the resource accounts of the Department of Health. The Treasury therefore consider it unnecessary for the Secretary of State to prepare summarised accounts of those Special Health Authorities for the financial year in question.
The Health and Social Care Information Centre was established by the Health and Social Care Information Centre (Establishment and Constitution) Order 2005 (S.I. 2005/499).
The NHS Business Services Authority (Awdurdod Gwasanaethau Busness y GIG) was established by the NHS Business Services Authority (Awdurdod Gwasanaethau Busness y GIG) (Establishment and Constitution) Order 2005 (S.I. 2005/2414).
The NHS Institute for Innovation and Improvement was established by the NHS Institute for Innovation and Improvement (Establishment and Constitution) Order 2005 (S.I. 2005/1446).
