This consultation paper sets out proposals for changes to Part II of the Public Health (Control of Disease) Act 1984
It proposes repeal of the sections currently in Part II and their replacement with more modern and flexible provisions, in order to strengthen the response not only to infectious disease but also to contamination by chemicals or radiation. The aim of the new legislation would be to provide for a more effective response to both infection and contamination.
