Section 11 of the National Health Service and Community Care Act 1990 extends this power to NHS Trusts. Under section 91 of the NHS Act 1977 any sum so paid to the appropriate | hospital authority shall, so far as practicable, be applied by them for the | purpose specified in the trust instrument. 2 This account has been prepared by the Department of Health under section — 98 of the National Health Service Act 1977 in a form directed by the Treasury, for transmission on or before 30 November to the Comptroller and Auditor — General for examination and certification. This section provides for the accounts of individual health authorities, NHS Trusts and special trustees to be audited by auditors appointed by the Audit Commission for Local Authorities and the National Health Service in England and Wales, and afford the Comptroller and Auditor General access to the reports of the Commission’ appointed auditors on the accounts of individual health authorities and specia trustees and to those accounts and related records. 3 The audit of the annual accounts of all health authorities, NHS Trusts and special trustees has been completed and this summarised account is therefore based on audited figures.
