      "text": "Section 65I is in Chapter 5A which was inserted into the 2006 Act by section 16 of the Health Act 2009 (c.21). Chapter 5A provides at Section 65B for the Secretary of State to authorise, after consulting prescribed parties, the appointment of a trust special administrator (TSA) to exercise the functions of the chairman and directors of an NHS trust established under section 25, where the Secretary of State considers that it is in the interests of the health service. Section 65F(1) provides for the TSA to then publish a draft report recommending what action the Secretary of State should take in relation to the trust. This is then followed by consultation by the TSA, as prescribed in sections 65G and 65H. Section 65I requires the TSA to provide to the Secretary of State a final report stating the action which the TSA recommends that the Secretary of State should take in relation to the trust, which the Secretary of State must publish and lay before Parliament. The report in relation to the South London Healthcare National Health Service Trust was published on 8th January 2013 and can be found at www.gov.uk/government/publications/final-report-by-trust-special-administrator-at-south-london-healthcare-nhs-trust."
