NHS England must make arrangements for—
minimising the risk of conflicts between the exercise of its regulatory functions and its other functions;
managing any conflicts that arise.
In this Act "regulatory functions", in relation to NHS England, means—
its functions under the provisions listed in subsection (3),
its functions under Chapter 5A of Part 2 (trust special administrators) in relation to NHS foundation trusts, except for any functions that are conferred on it under section 65DA, 65F or 65G as a commissioner, and
any other functions of NHS England so far as exercisable in connection with functions within paragraph (a) or (b).
Those provisions are—
in Part 2 of this Act, Chapter 5 (NHS foundation trusts);
in Part 3 of the Health and Social Care Act 2012—
Chapter 3 (licensing);
Chapter 4 (NHS payment scheme);
Chapter 5 (health special administration);
Chapter 6 (financial assistance in special administration cases).
