The purpose of this Audit report is to provide a thorough overview of all the regulations for which DH has responsibility that are thought to have an impact to business. The Audit describes why we have the regulations, provides an assessment of their estimated costs and, where possible, benefits to business and to wider society. The Audit has been conducted with a view to identifying regulations that should be removed or consolidated to reduce the regulatory burden the Department places on business and Civil Society Organisations (hereafter “business”) as well as reducing the number and scope of our regulations. 2. The scope of the Audit covered all regulations believed to have a potential cost to business. In a Cabinet Office trawl for the Red Tape Challenge (RTC) around 1,200 regulations had been identified as the responsibility of the Department of Health, a significant subset of which was put forward for review under the RTC. Many of the regulations attributed to the Department of Health (DH) clearly only impact on the public sector or are in fact owned by Other Government Departments. These were excluded from the scope of the Audit which has focussed on just over 650 individual regulations (Statutory Instruments for the most part). 3. There are differences between the set of regulations considered in this Audit and the set examined in the Red Tape Challenge phases one (Medicines) and two (Healthy Living and Social Care) which together cover 774 regulations. This is because this Audit did not include some regulations revoked shortly after RTC phase one (214 MHRA regulations) and because we included 91 additional regulations identified by policy teams outside of these RTC processes. The derivation of the set of regulations included in scope of the Audit is set out in the annex on the Research approach (Annex C). 4.

Zäch Str. 4, 6207 Nottwil, Switzerland * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-519-239-5295 Received: 6 May 2020; Accepted: 5 June 2020; Published: 18 June 2020 Abstract: Background: The rising prevalence of disability due to noncommunicable diseases and the aging process in tandem with under-prioritization and underdevelopment of rehabilitation services remains a significant concern for European public health. Over recent years, health system responses to population health needs, including rehabilitation needs, have been increasingly acknowledging the power of law and formal written policies as strategic governance tools to improve population health outcomes. However, the contents and scope of enacted legislation and adopted policies concerning rehabilitation services in Europe has not been synthesized. This paper presents a concise overview of laws and policies addressing rehabilitation in five European countries. Methods: Publicly available laws, policies, and national action plans addressing rehabilitation issues of Sweden, Italy, Germany, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom were reviewed and descriptive documents analyzed. Actions found in national health policies were also evaluated for compliance with the key recommendations specified in the World Health Organization’s Rehabilitation 2030: Call for Action.

  • Part I Background and Summary
    PART I BACKGROUND AND SUMMARY Chapter 1 BRITISH STATUTES IN IDSTORICAL PERSPECTIVE The North American plantations were not the earliest over­ seas possessions of the English Crown; neither were they the first to be treated as separate political entities, distinct from the realm of England. From the time of the Conquest onward, the King of England held -- though not necessarily simultaneously or continuously - a variety of non-English possessions includ­ ing Normandy, Anjou, the Channel Islands, Wales, Jamaica, Scotland, the Carolinas, New-York, the Barbadoes. These hold­ ings were not a part of the Kingdom of England but were govern­ ed by the King of England. During the early medieval period the King would issue such orders for each part of his realm as he saw fit. Even as he tended to confer more and more with the officers of the royal household and with the great lords of England - the group which eventually evolved into the Council out of which came Parliament - with reference to matters re­ lating to England, he did likewise with matters relating to his non-English possessions.1 Each part of the King's realm had its own peculiar laws and customs, as did the several counties of England. The middle ages thrived on diversity and while the King's writ was acknowledged eventually to run throughout England, there was little effort to eliminate such local practices as did not impinge upon the power of the Crown. The same was true for the non-Eng­ lish lands. An order for one jurisdictional entity typically was limited to that entity alone; uniformity among the several parts of the King's realm was not considered sufficiently important to overturn existing laws and customs.

  • Key Dates in Tobacco Regulation 1962 — 2020
    Key dates in tobacco regulation 1962 — 2020 16 Further information about the early history of tobacco is available at: www.tobacco.org/History/history.html 1962 The first Royal College of Physicians (RCP) report, "Smoking and Health", was published. It received massive publicity. The main recommendations were: restriction of tobacco advertising; increased taxation on cigarettes; more restrictions on the sales of cigarettes to children, and smoking in public places; and more information on the tar/nicotine content of cigarettes. For the first time in a decade, cigarette sales fell. The Tobacco Advisory Committee (subsequently Council, and now known as the Tobacco Manufacturers’ Association) - which represents the interests of the tobacco industry - agreed to implement a code of advertising practice for cigarettes which was intended to take some of the glamour out of cigarette advertisements. The code was based on the former ITA code governing cigarette advertisements on TV (before they were removed in 1964, with the co-operation of the ITA) 1964 The US Surgeon General produced his first report on "Smoking and Health". Its conclusions corroborated those of the RCP and the US Surgeon General has produced annual reports since 1967 on the health consequences on smoking. Doll and Hill published the results of a nationwide prospective survey on "mortality in relation to smoking: 10 years' observations in British Doctors". Between 1951 and 1964 about half the UK's doctors who smoked gave up and there was a dramatic fall in lung cancer incidence among those who gave up as opposed to those who continued to smoke. 1965 After considerable debate, the government used the powers vested in it under the terms of the 1964 Television Act to ban cigarette advertisements on television.

BRADLEYt As the popular concern gradually shifts away from the problem of a corrupt presidency to the more familiar problem of the corrupt con- gressman, it seems appropriate to reconsider the principles of congres- sional privilege. While the constitutionally guaranteed congressional privileges, such as the freedom of speech or debate, may tend to protect Congress from overreaching by the executive, they may also have the effect of shielding corrupt congressmen from legitimate efforts to inves- tigate and prosecute their transgressions. Indeed, in the investigation of the Korean corruption of the United States Congress the investiga- tive efforts of the Justice Department
