Illustration for Epidemic Preparedness Act 2006

The chief executive of a government department must keep an eye on how an epidemic management notice is working. You need to know that they must inform the Prime Minister and the Minister in charge of the department about what is happening. The chief executive is in charge of a department that is affected by the epidemic management notice. The Prime Minister must cancel a part of the epidemic management notice if they think it is no longer necessary. This can be done by giving a notice. A notice given under this section is called secondary legislation, which has its own rules for publication, as outlined in Part 3 of the Legislation Act 2019.
