Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the Health Authorities (Membership and Procedure) Regulations 1996 (“the 1996 Regulations”), which make provision relating to the membership and procedure of Health Authorities. They amend Schedule 1 to the 1996 Regulations so as to provide that Cambridgeshire Health Authority (which replaced the Cambridge & Huntingdon and North West Anglia Health Authorities) has one of its non-officer members appointed by the University of Cambridge. They also amend Schedule 2 to the 1996 Regulations so as to provide that the chairman and members of the Retained Organs Commission are not disqualified for appointment as a chairman or member of a Health Authority.
