SL(6)593 – The Partnership Arrangements (Wales) (Amendment) Regulations 2025

Procedure: Affirmative

These Regulations are made under the Social Services and Well-being (Wales) Act 2014, and they amend the Partnership Arrangements (Wales) Regulations 2015 (“the principal Regulations”).

The amendments make changes to regulation 19 of the principal Regulations (establishment and maintenance of pooled funds) to enable partnership bodies to exercise greater flexibility in the way that they pool funds in the exercise of their functions in relation to care home accommodation for older people.

Partnership bodies will continue to be required to maintain and pool funds when exercising these functions, but will no longer be required to do so on a regional basis (under arrangements with all the other partnership bodies for the regional partnership board area).
