The Cambridgeshire Community Services National Health Service Trust (Dissolution) Order 2026
- Department: NHS England
- Made under: National Health Service Act 2006
Dissolved the Cambridgeshire Community Services National Health Service Trust and revoked its 2010 establishment order.
This Order dissolves the Cambridgeshire Community Services National Health Service Trust on 1 April 2026 and revokes its original 2010 establishment order.
It applies to the administrative structure of the National Health Service in England, specifically terminating the legal existence of the named Trust.
NHS England issued this order following an application by the Trust and with the approval of the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care.
Arguments For
The order states that the dissolution is made on the application of the Cambridgeshire Community Services National Health Service Trust itself.
Proponents of the order cite the powers conferred by section 272 and Schedule 4 of the National Health Service Act 2006, which allow NHS England to dissolve a trust with the approval of the Secretary of State.
The explanatory note indicates that no significant impact on the public, private, or voluntary sectors is foreseen as a result of this instrument.
Arguments Against
Legal scholars may note that the document does not specify which healthcare provider or entity will assume the service delivery or administrative responsibilities previously held by the dissolved trust.
Affected parties or local residents might express concern regarding the lack of a detailed impact assessment, as the document states one was not produced because no significant impact was foreseen.
