# The Mid Yorkshire Hospitals National Health Service Trust (Establishment) (Amendment) Order 2023, 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, which established the Mid Yorkshire Hospitals National Health Service Trust (“the trust”).
Article 2 changes the name of the trust to the Mid Yorkshire Teaching National Health Service Trust.
Article 3 sets out the functions of the trust as being to provide goods and services for the purposes of the health service.
Article 4 increases the number of non-executive directors, in addition to the chairman, that the trust must have from 5 to 6 and requires that one of these non-executive directors is appointed from the University of Leeds. It also requires that the trust must have 6 executive directors.
Article 5 omits the specification of the trust’s “operational date” as it is of no on-going relevance.
A full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as it has no effect on private sector or civil society organisations, and no significant effect on the public sector.
