11 What is a statutory health corporation?

(1) A "statutory health corporation" is a statutory health corporation constituted under section 41 and specified from time to time in Schedule 2.

(2) The principal reason for constituting statutory health corporations is to enable certain health services and health support services to be provided within the State other than on an area basis.

Note: Statutory health corporations are intended to replace the system of incorporated hospitals and corporatised boards of directors of associated organisations established under Part 4 and Division 2 of Part 5A of the Public Hospitals Act 1929 respectively.
