Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order amends the constitution of the Walsgrave Hospitals National Health Service Trust, an NHS trust established by Order under Part I of the National Health Service and Community Care Act 1990, by decreasing the number of executive directors from 6 to 5. The amendment is required because the Walsgrave Hospitals National Health Service Trust (Establishment) Amendment Order 1998 (S.I. 1998/3082), in error, increased from 5 to 6 the number of the Trust’s executive directors. Under the National Health Service Trusts (Membership and Procedure) Amendment Regulations 1998 (S.I. 1998/1975), the maximum permitted number of executive directors of an NHS trust is 5.
