# The London Ambulance Service National Health Service Trust (Establishment) Amendment Order 2014, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the London Ambulance Service National Health Service Trust (Establishment) Order 1996 (“the Establishment Order”), which established the London Ambulance Service National Health Service Trust.
Articles 2 and 5 omit the definition and specification of the trust’s “operational date” as the trust is already established. Article 3 updates the legislative reference under which trusts are established.
Article 4 increases the number of non-executive directors of the trust from 6 to 7. This is in addition to the chairman.
Article 6 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. Article 8 of the Establishment Order has already lapsed as a consequence of the repeal of the National Health Service and Community Care Act 1990.
