This Order changes the constitution of the National Treatment Agency ("the Agency"), a Special Health Authority established under section 11 of the National Health Service Act 1977. The Agency is to have between 3 and 12 non-officer members rather than between 3 and 8, and between 2 and 4 officer members rather than between 2 and 3.
Notes:
[1] 1977 c. 49; section 11 was amended by paragraph 2 of Schedule 1 to the Health Authorities Act 1995 (c. 17) ("the 1995 Act") and by paragraph 6 of Schedule 4 to the Health Act 1999 (c. 8) ("the 1999 Act"); section 126(3) was amended by section 65(2) of the National Health Service and Community Care Act 1990 (c. 19), by paragraph 57 of Schedule 1 to the 1995 Act and by section 41(10) of, and paragraph 27 of Schedule 2 to, the National Health Service (Primary Care) Act 1997 (c. 46).
