Mr. Liam Woods:

The development board is a body formed under the Health (Corporate Bodies) Act 1961. It has a separate legal foundation from the Companies Act 1963, to which the Deputy has referred. The statutory instrument is based on a triggering of powers that exist within the Health (Corporate Bodies) Act 1961.
