Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend Part I of Schedule 1 to the Regional and District Health Authorities (Membership and Procedure) Regulations 1990 which specifies those District Health Authorities in England which are required to have at least one non-officer member who holds a post in a university with a medical or dental school.
These Regulations are made in consequence of the National Health Service (District Health Authorities) (No. 2) Order 1994 which abolishes Newcastle Health Authority and North Tyneside Health Authority and establishes Newcastle and North Tyneside Health Authority.
These Regulations also correct the earlier omission of South East London Health Authority from that Schedule.
1977 c. 49; section 128(1), which is cited for the definition of “prescribed”, was amended by section 26(2) of the National Health Service and Community Care Act 1990 (c. 19).
