(2) Any act, omission or other thing (including legal proceedings) done or which, at the coming into force of this regulation, is in the process of being done by or in relation to HEE in respect of, or in connection with, the exercise of its functions, is to be treated as an act, omission or thing done or in the process of being done, and may be continued, by or in relation to NHS England.

(3) Any enactment passed before the coming into force of this regulation, and any instrument or other document made before that day, has effect, so far as is necessary for the purposes of or in consequence of these Regulations as if references to (and references which are to be read as references to) HEE were or included references to NHS England.

(4) Documents or forms printed for use in connection with a function transferred by these Regulations may be used in connection with that function even though they contain, or are to be read as containing, references to HEE; and for the purposes of the use of any such documents or forms after the coming into force of these Regulations, those references are to be read as references to NHS England.
