  "text": "(This note is not part of the Order)\nThis Order amends the Dartford and Gravesham National Health Service Trust (Establishment) Order 1993 (the Establishment Order), which established the Dartford and Gravesham National Health Service Trust.\nArticle 2 amends the definition of “the Act” to refer to the National Health Service Act 2006 as the National Health Service and Community Care Act 1990 (under which the original order was made) has been repealed. It also includes a new definition of “community health services”. Articles 2(c) and 4 omit the definition and specification of the trust’s “operational date” as the trust is already established.\nArticle 3 amends the nature and functions of the trust, to provide hospital accommodation and services and community health services for the purposes of the health service.\nArticle 5 revokes articles 6 and 7 of the Establishment Order as they relate to the period before the operational date and are of no ongoing relevance.",
