Regulation 3 Tenure of office of members
Subject to paragraph (4) and to any provisions applied by these Regulations as to termination of and disqualification for membership, the tenure of office of a member appointed by the Secretary of State shall be for such period as the Secretary of State may specify on making the appointment.
The person who is a member by virtue of paragraph (c) of article 5 of the Constitution Order shall, subject to paragraph (3), hold office for so long as he remains the chief officer of the Authority.
Where for any period, a person mentioned in paragraph (2) is suspended from his duties as chief officer of the Authority—
he shall also be suspended for that period from performing his functions as a member, and
any person appointed by the Authority to act in his place as chief officer shall also be appointed by the Authority to perform his functions as a member of that Authority for that period.
Where the Secretary of State is satisfied that it is not in the interests of the Authority or the health service that a person whom he has appointed as a member should continue to hold that office, he may forthwith terminate that member’s tenure of office.
