Health Services Act 1988

On the cancellation of the incorporation of a metropolitan hospital under section 223—

all property and rights of the metropolitan hospital, wherever located, vest in the Crown; and

all liabilities of the metropolitan hospital, wherever located, become liabilities of the Crown; and

the Crown becomes the successor in law of the metropolitan hospital in respect of that property and those rights and liabilities; and

this Division applies as if any reference—

to an Order under section 208 were a reference to an Order under section 223; and

to former hospital property were a reference to property, rights and liabilities vested in the Crown under this subsection; and

to a metropolitan health service were a reference to the Crown.

This section does not apply to a trust.
