Section 22: Trust funds and trustees

96.This section provides for the Secretary of State to appoint trustees for an NHS foundation trust to manage charitable assets on its behalf. The arrangements are analogous to those set out under the 1990 Act for NHS trusts.

98.Subsection (3) allows the Secretary of State to transfer property from an NHS foundation trust to the trustees of the NHS foundation trust where trustees have been appointed under this section.

99.Subsection (4) provides that trustees of an NHS trust that becomes an NHS foundation trust are to be treated as though they were appointed under this section.
