Citation, commencement and interpretation

1.-(1) This Order may be cited as the South East London Mental Health National Health Service Trust (Change of Name and Miscellaneous Amendments) Order 1994 and shall come into force on 1st April 1994.

(2) In this Order-

"the Order" means the South East London Mental Health National Health Service Trust (Establishment) Order 1993(3);

"the trust" means the National Health Service trust established by the Order.

Change of name of NHS trust

2. The trust shall be called the Lewisham and Guy's Mental Health National Health Service Trust instead of the South East London Mental Health National Health Service Trust, and accordingly in article 1 of the Order in the definition of "the trust", and in article 2, for the words "South East London" there shall be substituted the words "Lewisham and Guy's".

Amendment of the Order

3.-(1) For paragraph (2) of article 3 of the Order (nature and functions of the trust) there shall be substituted the following paragraph:-

"(2) The trust's functions (which include functions which the Secretary of State considers appropriate in relation to the provision of services by the trust for one or more health authorities) shall be-

(a)to own and manage hospital accommodation and services provided at Wardalls Grove, Avonley Road, London SE14 5ER and associated hospitals (including the management of teaching and research facilities);

(b)to manage community health services provided from Wardalls Grove, Avonley Road, London SE14 5ER and to own the associated premises.".

(2) In article 4 of the order (directors of the trust) there shall be added at the end the words ", and, since the trust is to be regarded as having a significant teaching commitment within the meaning of paragraph 3(1)(d) of Schedule 2 to the Act, one of those non-executive directors shall be appointed from the University of London".

Transitional provisions

4. The change of name effected by article 2 of this Order shall not-

(a)affect any right or obligation of any person; or

(b)be taken as invalidating any instrument (whether made before, on or after the day on which this Order comes into force) which refers to the trust by its previous name;

and all documents and instruments which refer to the trust under its previous name shall be construed as referring to it under its new name.

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.
