(a) hospital services (including research), or

(b) any other part of the health service associated with hospitals,

to assist, support or otherwise benefit the College shall, on and from that day, have power to assist, support or otherwise benefit the Institution as if it were a hospital or an institution within the health service associated with such a hospital for which those persons were appointed.
