Explanatory note

Reproduced verbatim from the instrument as published on legislation.gov.uk (Crown Copyright, Open Government Licence v3.0). The note is prepared by the responsible government department and is not part of the instrument itself.

These Regulations amend the Mental Capacity (Research) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2019 by substituting regulation 2 in the principal Regulations with a new regulation.

The new regulation provides an updated list specifying the persons, committee or other bodies who can act as appropriate bodies for the purpose of approving research involving persons who are aged 16 or over and lack capacity in relation to participation in the research.
