(This note is not part of the Regulations)
The Health Authorities (Membership and Procedure) Regulations 1996 (“the principal Regulations”) make provision relating to the membership and procedure of Strategic Health Authorities and Health Authorities (“Authorities”).
These Regulations, which apply in relation to England, amend the principal Regulations by removing the requirement for one of the non-officer members of an Authority to be a person who holds a post in an institution within the higher education sector which provides education leading to registration in certain health professions.
These Regulations also remove the provision as to termination of such a person’s appointment as a member of the Authority where the person ceases to hold such a post.
