(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the National Health Service Trusts (Membership and Procedure) Regulations 1990 (“the principal Regulations”) which provide, amongst other things, for the membership of NHS trusts constituted under the National Health Service and Community Care Act 1990.

That Act provides that, where a trust is to be regarded as having a significant teaching commitment, one of its non-executive directors (“the university director”) should be drawn from a university with a medical or dental school. Under the principal Regulations employment with a health service body disqualifies a person from appointment as a non-executive director, except that a person is not disqualified from being the university director because of his employment with the NHS trust. These Regulations extend the scope of that exception so that no employment with any health service body will disqualify a person from being the university director.
