Regina (Lewisham London Borough Council) v Secretary of State for Health and another;  Regina (Save Lewisham Hospital Campaign Ltd) v Same and another: [2013] EWCA   [2013] WLR (D)  430

“The words ‘in relation to … the trust’ in sections 65(F)(1), 65I(1), 65K(1) of the National Health Service Act 2006, as amended and inserted, meant the failing trust to which the trust special administrator had been appointed under Chapter 5A of the 2006 Act, and no other trust. It followed that the administrator appointed to a neighbouring trust had no power to make recommendations in relation to any other trust, and the Secretary of State had no power to make a decision based on such recommendations.”
