EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the Mayday Healthcare National Health Service Trust (Establishment) Order 1993 (“the Establishment Order”), which established the Mayday Healthcare National Health Service Trust.
Article 3 changes the name of the trust from Mayday Healthcare National Health Service Trust to Croydon Health Services National Health Service Trust.
Article 4 sets out the nature and functions of the trust so that the trust can provide hospital accommodation and services and community care services. It removes reference to section 5 of the National Health Service and Community Care Act 1990 (which has been repealed) and removes the reference to the particular establishments and facilities from which the trust carries out its functions.
Article 5 increases the number of non-executive directors the trust must have from 5 to 6.
Article 6 specifies the trust’s accounting date. It removes reference to the trust’s operational date as the trust has assumed all its functions.
Article 7 revokes articles 6, 7 and 8 of the Establishment Order, in so far as they are still in force. Articles 6 and 7 relate to the period before the operational date and are of no ongoing relevance. Article 8 specifies a sum for the purposes of a provision of the National Health Service and Community Care Act 1990 which has been repealed.
See S.I. 2010/743.
