(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the National Health Service (Appellate and Other Functions) Regulations 1992 to substitute the Northern and Yorkshire Regional Health Authority as the body which by virtue of those Regulations is to determine, on behalf of the Secretary of State, certain appeals and other matters arising under regulations made under Part II of the National Health Service Act 1977 (regulation 2). The amendment is made in consequence of the establishment of the Northern and Yorkshire Regional Health Authority on 1st April 1994 and the abolition of the Yorkshire Regional Health Authority on that date.
These Regulations also substitute a new Part I in 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 (regulation 3 and the Schedule). This amendment is made in consequence of the abolition of certain District Health Authorities previously listed in that Schedule 1, and the establishment of other District Health Authorities to take over their functions.
