# The Mid Yorkshire Hospitals National Health Service Trust (Establishment) Amendment Order 2009, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the Mid Yorkshire Hospitals National Health Service Trust (Establishment) and the Pinderfields and Pontefract Hospitals National Health Service Trust and the Dewsbury Health Care National Health Service Trust (Dissolution) Order 2002 (“the Establishment Order”), which established the Mid Yorkshire Hospitals National Health Service Trust.
Article 3 amends the provision of the Establishment Order which specifies the nature and functions of the trust, so as to replace the reference to section 5 of the National Health Service and Community Care Act 1990 (which has been repealed and is replaced by section 25 of the National Health Service Act 2006), remove the reference to the particular establishments and facilities from which the trust carries out its functions, and to increase the trust’s functions, in particular so that it may provide community health services in addition to hospital accommodation and services.
