This Order further amends the constitution of an NHS trust established by Order under Part I of the National Health Service and Community Care Act 1990, by temporarily increasing the number of executive and non-executive directors from 4 to 5 until 30th November 1997.

The number of executive and non-executive directors was reduced from 5 to 4 by the Horizon National Health Service Trust (Establishment) Amendment Order 1997 (S.I. 1997/1376) with effect from 11th June 1997. As this Order is made to correct a defect in that Order, it is being issued free of charge to all known recipients of that Order.
