Regulation 2

In these Regulations, subject to the provisions of paragraph (2) of this regulation, expressions to which a meaning is assigned by the National Health Service Act 1946, as amended by the National Health Service Reorganisation Act 1973, have that meaning.

In relation to Scotland, the expressions “Regional Hospital Board,” “local health authority” and “education authority” have the same meaning as in the National Health Service (Scotland) Act 1947.

The rules for the construction of Acts of Parliament contained in the Interpretation Act^f1 shall apply for the purposes of the interpretation of these Regulations as they apply for the purposes of the interpretation of an Act of Parliament.
