(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the Lewisham Hospital National Health Service Trust (Establishment) Order 1993 ("the Establishment Order"), which established the Lewisham Hospital National Health Service Trust, which is now known as the Lewisham Healthcare National Health Service Trust.
Article 2 changes the name of the trust from the Lewisham Healthcare National Health Service Trust to the Lewisham and Greenwich National Health Service Trust and makes consequential amendments to the Establishment Order. Articles 2(2)(b) and 4 omit the definition and specification of the trust's "operational date" as the trust is already established. Article 5 revokes article 6 of the Establishment Order as it relates to the period before the operational date and is of no ongoing relevance.
Article 3 increases the number of non-executive directors (excluding the chairman) of the trust from 5 to 7.
2006 c.41. Section 179(2) of the Health and Social Care Act 2012 (c.7) provides for the repeal of section 25 of the National Health Service Act 2006 (subsection (4) of which gives Schedule 4 effect) but this provision is not yet in force.
S.I. 2010/743, to which there are amendments not relevant to this Order. The prescribed consultation under regulation 2(2) is consultation by the Secretary of State with that NHS trust.
S.I. 1993/694, amended by S.I. 2010/100, S.I. 2010/2918 (which changed the name of the trust to the Lewisham Healthcare National Health Service Trust) and S.I. 2013/593.
