About this statute

This Act sets up a territorial health and social services system and gives the Minister broad powers over planning, approvals, standards, directives, and emergency delivery. This provision sets the governance and operating rules for the Territorial authority and Boards of Management, including ministerial appointment and dissolution powers, service delivery duties, public meetings, budgeting, audits, reporting, and conflict-of-interest compliance. The provision gives the Minister broad authority over public administration and insured services, including appointing a Public Administrator, and it sets incident-reporting and recovery rules for insured services. Inspectors may enter and inspect certain places, use inspection powers, and must report in writing to the Minister; people at inspected places must cooperate, and unauthorized receipt of insured services is prohibited.
