Explanatory note

This Order amends the National Health Service Trusts (Trust Funds: Appointment of Trustees) Order 2000 (“the Appointment Order”), which provides for the appointment of trustees for National Health Service trusts specified in the Schedule and provides that the Secretary of State must not appoint a company as trustee except in relation to the Barts and The London National Health Service Trust.

Article 2 amends the Appointment Order to replace references to the Barts and The London National Health Service Trust, which has been dissolved, with references to the Barts Health National Health Service Trust. The staff, property and liabilities of the Barts and The London National Health Service Trust have been transferred to the Barts Health National Health Service Trust and the effect of this Order is that the Secretary of State must appoint trustees to Barts Health NHS Trust and the trustees so appointed may be a company.
