Section 65KC: Action following Secretary of State's rejection of final report

National Health Service Act 2006 · 2006 c. 41View on legislation.gov.uk

Part 2: Health service bodies — Chapter 5A: Trust special administrators: NHS trusts and NHS foundation trusts

Within the period of 20 working days beginning with the day on which the trust special administrator receives a notice under section 65KB(2), the administrator must provide to NHS England the final report varied so far as the administrator considers necessary to secure that the Secretary of State is satisfied as mentioned in section 65KB(1).

Where the administrator provides to NHS England a final report under subsection (1), section 65KA applies in relation to the report as it applies in relation to a final report under section 65I; and for that purpose, that section has effect as if—

in subsection (1), for "20 working days" there were substituted "10 working days", and
subsection (3)(b) were omitted.

If the Secretary of State thinks that, in the circumstances, it is not reasonable for the administrator to be required to carry out the duty under subsection (1) within the period mentioned in that subsection, the Secretary of State may by order extend the period.

If an order is made under subsection (3), the administrator must—

publish a notice stating the date on which the period will expire, and
where the administrator is proposing to carry out consultation in response to the notice under section 65KB(2), publish a statement setting out the means by which the administrator will consult during the extended period.
