4(1)This paragraph is subject to any provision made under section 52D(4) or (7) or 65L(4) or (5).
(2)The number of executive directors and non-executive directors of the NHS trust is the number of executive directors and non-executive directors provided for in the constitution of the NHS foundation trust.
