(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the constitution of the Walsgrave Hospitals National Health Service Trust, an NHS trust established by Order under Part I of the National Health Service and Community Care Act 1990, by decreasing the number of executive directors from 6 to 5. The amendment is required because the Walsgrave Hospitals National Health Service Trust (Establishment) Amendment Order 1998 (S.I. 1998/3082), in error, increased from 5 to 6 the number of the Trust's executive directors. Under the National Health Service Trusts (Membership and Procedure) Amendment Regulations 1998 (S.I. 1998/1975), the maximum permitted number of executive directors of an NHS trust is 5.
1977 c. 49; section 126(3) was amended by section 65(2) of the National Health Service and Community Care Act 1990 (c. 19), by paragraph 57 of Schedule 1 to the Health Authorities Act 1995 (c. 17) ("the 1995 Act") and by section 41(10) and paragraph 27 of Schedule 2 to the National Health Service (Primary Care) Act 1997 (c. 46).
1990 c. 19; section 5 was amended by paragraph 69 of Schedule 1 to the 1995 Act.
