Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend Part I of Schedule 1 to the Regional and District Health Authorities (Membership and Procedure) Regulations 1990 which specifies those District Health Authorities in England which are required to have at least one non-officer member who holds a post in a university with a medical or dental school.

These Regulations are made in consequence of the National Health Service (District Health Authorities) Order 1993 which abolishes Parkside, Riverside, Bloomsbury and Islington, Hampstead, City and Hackney and Tower Hamlets Health Authorities and establishes Kensington Chelsea and Westminster Health Authority, Camden and Islington Health Authority and East London and The City Health Authority.
