Commentary on Sections Part 2 – Powers in Relation to Health Bodies Chapter 1 – Powers in Relation to Failing NHS Bodies in England Supplementary
215.New section 65M provides that if the TSA ceases to hold office either before the Secretary of State has dissolved the trust or before the Secretary of State has reinstated the chairman and directors to the trust, the Secretary of State must appoint another TSA and publish his or her name. At this point the new TSA takes over at the same stage in the process, unless the Secretary of State directs that the new TSA should start from a different point (for example to start at the beginning of the process) (subsection (2)).
216.New section 65N requires the Secretary of State to publish guidance for TSAs, which must include guidance in relation to the publication of notices relating to consultation and extensions of time and also the preparation of the draft report.
