221Transfer of staff

221 Transfer of staff (1) A person listed as an employee of a metropolitan hospital in a list prepared under section 220 who was such an employee immediately before the relevant staff transfer date is to be regarded as— (a) having been employed by the metropolitan health service or community health centre specified in the list with effect from the staff transfer date; and (b) having been so employed on the same terms and conditions as those that applied to the person, immediately before the staff transfer date, as an employee of the metropolitan hospital; and (c) having accrued an entitlement to benefits, in connection with that employment with the metropolitan health service or community health centre, that is equivalent to the entitlement that the person had accrued, as an employee of the metropolitan hospital immediately before the staff transfer date. (2) The service of a transferred hospital employee as an employee of the metropolitan health service or community health centre is to be regarded for all purposes as having been continuous with the service of the transferred hospital employee, immediately before the relevant staff transfer date, as an employee of the metropolitan hospital. (3) A transferred hospital employee is not entitled to receive any payment or other benefit by reason only of having ceased to be an employee of a metropolitan hospital because of this Division. (4) A certificate purporting to be signed by the chief executive officer of the metropolitan health service or community health centre certifying that a person named in the certificate was, with effect from the relevant staff transfer date, employed, by virtue of this section by the metropolitan health service or community health centre named in the certificate is admissible in evidence in any proceedings and is conclusive proof of the matters stated in it.
