(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the Cardiothoracic Centre–Liverpool National Health Service Trust (Establishment) Order 1990, which established the Cardiothoracic Centre-Liverpool National Health Service Trust.
Article 2 of the Order changes the name of the trust from the Cardiothoracic Centre-Liverpool National Health Service Trust to the Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital National Health Service Trust and makes consequential amendments to the Establishment Order.
Article 3 amends the provision of the Establishment Order which specifies the nature and functions of the trust, so as to replace the reference to section 5 of the National Health Service and Community Care Act 1990 (which has been revoked and is replaced by section 25 of the National Health Service Act 2006) and remove the reference to the establishment from which the trust carries out its functions.
