(a)a hospital vested in the Secretary of State [F1or managed by a National Health Service trust established under section 12A of the National Health Service (Scotland) Act 1978];

(b)a State hospital; or

(c)any other premises managed by a Government department or provided by a local authority.

(4)Subject to section 13 of this Act, the Secretary of State may register the premises named in the application as a private hospital and issue to the person proposing to carry on the hospital a certificate in that behalf (in this Act referred to as “a certificate of registration”).

(5)A certificate of registration shall specify the maximum number of persons who at any one time may receive care or treatment in the hospital to which the certificate relates, and such conditions as the Secretary of State may consider appropriate for regulating the category of patients who may be received into the hospital.
