Explanatory note

These regulations amend the National Health Service (Compensation) Regulations 1974 so that they do not apply to persons transferred or retired in consequence of the abolition of a “preserved Board” after 1st February 1982. For this purpose a “preserved Board” means a Board of Governors of a post graduate London teaching hospital which has been preserved from abolition by section 15 of the National Health Service Reorganisation Act 1973.
