PART 2REGISTRATION
Register of regulated activitiesI13

4
Where the provision of services under arrangements between a body of trustees established for the purpose of providing services to meet the health or social care needs of a named beneficiary and a provider of such services falls to be regarded as a regulated activity, it is the provider and not the body of trustees which shall be regarded as the person who carries on that regulated activity.
