Explanatory note

This Order amends the constitution of the Walsgrave Hospitals National Health Service Trust, an NHS trust established by Order under Part I of the National Health Service and Community Care Act 1990, by decreasing the number of executive directors from 6 to 5. The amendment is required because the Walsgrave Hospitals National Health Service Trust (Establishment) Amendment Order 1998 (S.I. 1998/3082), in error, increased from 5 to 6 the number of the Trust’s executive directors. Under the National Health Service Trusts (Membership and Procedure) Amendment Regulations 1998 (S.I. 1998/1975), the maximum permitted number of executive directors of an NHS trust is 5.
