This Order continues (in articles 3 and 4) the constitution of the District Health Authorities originally constituted by the Orders revoked by article 7(1). To that extent, it is made as a consequence of the new provisions for membership of District Health Authorities under the National Health Service and Community Care Act 1990 (c. 19). The Order also abolishes the Bloomsbury Health Authority and the Islington Health Authority (article 5) and establishes a new District Health Authority to be known as the Bloomsbury and Islington Health Authority (article 6).
1977 c. 49; section 8 was amended by the Health Services Act 1980 (c. 53), section 1(7) and Schedule 1, Part I, paragraph 28 and section 8(1) was extended by section 1(2) of the Health Services Act 1980. The National Health Service Act 1977 was extended to the Isles of Scilly by the Isles of Scilly (National Health Service) Order 1981 (S.I. 1981/1473).
S.I. 1981/1837: relevant amending instruments are S.I. 1982/344, 1983/30, 336, 1984/328, 1985/25, 370, 1988/407 and 1990/1755.
