HEALTH AND PERSONAL SOCIAL SERVICES (NORTHERN IRELAND) ORDER 1972 - SECT 48

48.(1) The Ministry may acquire by agreement or compulsorily in accordance
with the following provisions of this Article any land which in its opinion is
required for the purposes of any of the health or personal social services,
and any land held by it for those purposes may, if in the opinion of the
Ministry it is no longer required for those purposes, be disposed of by it or
be appropriated by it for other purposes of the Ministry.

(2) Where the Ministry in exercise of the power conferred by paragraph (1)
desires to acquire any land otherwise than by agreement, the Ministry may make
an order (in this Article referred to as a "vesting order") vesting the land
in the Ministry.

(3) Schedule 6 to the Local Government Act (Northern Ireland) 1972 shall,
subject to the modifications thereof specified in Schedule 7 to this Order,
apply for the purposes of the acquisition of land by means of a vesting order
made under this Article in the same manner as it applies to the acquisition of
land by means of a vesting order under that Act.

(4) The power to make a vesting order in respect of land

(a)which is the property of any public body which has power under any
transferred provision to acquire land compulsorily, or

(b)which is declared by or under any transferred provision to be inalienable,

(5) Nothing in this Article shall authorise the Ministry to acquire, without
the consent of the Ministry of Finance, any land on or in which there is, to
the knowledge of the Ministry, any historic monument or archaeological object.

(6) In paragraph (5), "historic monument" and "archaeological object" have the
same meanings as in the Historic Monuments Act (Northern Ireland) 1971.
