16  Hospital treatment—outreach services
 (1) The provision of a service is taken to be hospital treatment for the purposes of the new Act if, immediately before the commencement time, the service was an outreach service within the meaning of the National Health Act 1953.
 (2) However, this section ceases to apply to a particular service:
 (a) if the Minister revokes under subsection (3) of this section the determination under section 5D of the National Health Act 1953 by virtue of which the service was, immediately before the commencement time, an outreach service within the meaning of the National Health Act 1953; or
 (b) on 1 July 2008;
whichever happens first.
 (3) Despite the repeal of section 5D of the National Health Act 1953 by this Act, the Minister may, by legislative instrument, revoke a determination of the kind referred to in paragraph (2)(a) of this section.
