Bonus episode – New service change regulations in England – what are they and what do they mean?
In this bonus episode, Caroline, Paul and Jonny talk about the newly released regulations for ministerial powers to intervene in service change programmes, and the amendments to the familiar health scrutiny regulations.
They cover the Secretary of State’s new power to call in service change programmes, the duty to notify the Secretary of State of substantial service change programmes, the removal of local authorities’ power to refer to the service changes, and the new process for requesting the Secretary of State call in a service change that can be used by anyone.
