39.(1) The Head of the Department shall be the appropriate Northern Irish authority for the purposes of section 31 of the Supplementary Benefits Act 1976 and may, with the consent of the Department of Finance, make reciprocal arrangements with the Secretary of State for co-ordinating the operation of the two schemes for the payment of supplementary benefits in respect of persons whose resources are insufficient to meet their requirements, being the schemes established respectively under this Order and under the Supplementary Benefits Act 1976. (2) Any such arrangements may include provision for the modification or adaptation of the respective schemes in relation to, or in connection with, persons affected by the arrangements. (3) [Regulations may provide for such modifications of this Order as appear to the Department] to be required for giving effect to the arrangements, or in consequence of the arrangements, and for any necessary financial adjustments. (4) [The power to make regulations conferred by paragraph (3)] shall be exercisable in relation to any provision enacted after this Order which is directed to be construed as one with this Order; but this paragraph applies only so far as a contrary intention does not appear in that provision and is without prejudice to the generality of any such direction.
