The Health Protection Agency Act 2004 (c. 17) is an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom.
Section 1 (1) provides that there is a body corporate known as the Health Protection Agency, or, in Welsh, Yr Asiantaeth Diogelu Iechyd.
This section was inserted on 1 April 2009 [2] by section 159(3) of the Health and Social Care Act 2008.
The Health Protection Agency Act 2004 (Commencement) Order 2005 (S.I. 2005/121 (C. 5)) was made under this section.
Section 12(3) provides that paragraph 3 of Schedule 3 came into force at the end of the period of two months that began on the date on which the Act was passed. The word "months" means calendar months. [3] The day (that is to say, 22 July 2004) on which the Act was passed (that is to say, received royal assent) is included in the period of two months. [4] This means that the paragraph came into force on 22 September 2004.
