(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the National Health Service Trusts (Membership and Procedure) (Scotland) Regulations 1991 (“the principal Regulations”) which make provision concerning the membership and procedure of NHS Trusts.

New regulation 8(4A) of the principal Regulations provides that a person may become chairman or a non-executive director of an NHS Trust even though he is already chairman, member, director or employee of another health service body, provided that the Secretary of State considers that the second appointment is in the interests of the health service and that the holding of more than one office does not exceed 1 year.
