Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the National Health Service Trust Development Authority Regulations 2012 relating to the disqualification for appointment of persons as non-officer members of the National Health Service Trust Development Authority (“the Authority”). In particular, these Regulations remove a restriction, which would otherwise preclude a person who is the chair or another member of Monitor (see section 61 of the Health and Social Care Act 2012 (c.7) which continues the existence of the Independent Regulator of NHS Foundation Trusts), from being appointed a non-officer member of the Authority.

An impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as minimal impact on business or the private or voluntary sector is foreseen.
