(d)for the purposes of section 146 of and Schedule 13 to the M1Employment Protection (Consolidation) Act 1978, the number of hours normally worked, or, as the case may be, the hours for which the employee is employed in any week under either of those contracts shall be taken to be the total of the hours normally worked or, as the case may be, for which he is employed under the two contracts taken together.

(3)Where, as a result of the provisions of section 6 above, by virtue of his employment during any period after the operational date of the NHS trust,—

(a)an employee has contractual rights against an NHS trust to benefits in the event of his redundancy, and
