Explanatory note

This Order amends the Order (“the Establishment Order”) which established Teddington Memorial Hospital National Health Service Trust (“the trust”).

The Establishment Order is amended to change the name of the trust from the Teddington Memorial Hospital National Health Service Trust to the Teddington Memorial Hospital and Community National Health Service Trust (articles 2 and 3).

The Establishment Order is further amended to confer on the trust the functions of providing community health services from Teddington Memorial Hospital and associated hospitals, establishments and facilities as a result of the dissolution of the Richmond, Twickenham and Roehampton Healthcare National Health Service Trust. This Order should therefore be read in conjunction with the Merton and Sutton Community, the Richmond, Twickenham and Roehampton Healthcare and the Wandsworth Community Health National Health Service Trusts (Dissolution) Order 1999^f1.
