Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order changes the name of an NHS trust established by Order (“the Order”) under Part I of the National Health Service and Community Care Act 1990 from the South East London Mental Health National Health Service Trust to the Lewisham and Guy’s Mental Health National Health Service Trust (article 2). It also amends the Order to include among the trust’s functions the ownership and management of hospital accommodation and services, and the management of teaching and research facilities, and to require that one of the trust’s non-executive directors is to be appointed from the University of London (article 3). This Order also makes consequential amendments to the Order, and includes transitional provisions (article 4).

As this Order has been made partly to correct the omission of those functions and that requirement from the Order, it is being issued free of charge to all known recipients of the Order.
