Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order amends the Order which established the Norfolk and Norwich Health Care National Health Service Trust to alter the purpose for which the trust has been established and to amend its functions. (The trust has assumed responsibility for the management of the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital, and associated hospitals, previously managed by the former Norwich Health Authority.)

This Order confers on the trust the purpose specified in section 5(1)(b) of the National Health Service and Community Care Act 1990, to provide and manage hospitals or other establishments or facilities. The functions of the trust are also amended so that it is no longer required to own the premises at which it provides hospital accommodation and services, and so that it may provide such accommodation and services from premises not previously managed by a health authority, and may cease to provide such accommodation and services from certain of its existing premises.
