The North East Lincolnshire Primary Care Trust (Change of Name) (Establishment) Amendment Order 2007

Made

23rd July 2007

Coming into force

1st September 2007

The Secretary of State for Health makes the following Order in exercise of the powers conferred upon him by sections 18(1) and (2), 77, 272(8) and 273(1) of, and paragraph 13(1) of Schedule 3 to, the National Health Service Act 2006(1).

He is of the opinion that designation of the North East Lincolnshire Primary Care Trust as a Care Trust would be likely to promote the effective exercise by that trust of functions as specified in section 77(1)(b) of the Act.

He confirms that the consultation requirements referred to in section 18(5) of the Act have been satisfied and that an application has been made to him under section 77(2) of the Act.
