This Order abolishes on 1st August 2005, the NHSU, a Special Health Authority established under section 11 of the National Health Service Act 1977. It makes provision for the transfer of rights, liabilities and property of the abolished NHSU and the transfer of its staff to the NHS Institute for Innovation and Improvement.
