634.This section repeals the AIDS (Control) Act 1987. The Act concerns the collection of information about numbers of HIV cases and deaths, but for some time, laboratories and clinics have voluntarily reported more accurate and relevant data than the Act calls for. As a result, the Department of Health has not used the Act for several years and now regards it as redundant.
635.The AIDS (Control) (Northern Ireland) Order 1987 is also revoked.
