What to do with it

(2) This subsection applies to each person who— (a) is providing local pharmaceutical services ... under an LPS scheme made (whether with himself or another person) by NHS England, and (b) has notified NHS England that he wishes to be represented by the committee (and has not notified it that he wishes to cease to be so represented). (3) This subsection applies to each person who— (a) is providing local pharmaceutical services ... under a pilot scheme made (whether with himself or another person) by NHS England, and (b) has notified NHS England that he wishes to be represented by the committee (and has not notified it that he wishes to cease to be so represented). (4) A committee recognised under this section is called the Local Pharmaceutical Committee for the area for which it is formed. (5) Any such committee may delegate any of its functions, with or without restrictions or conditions, to sub-committees composed of members of that committee. (6) Regulations may require NHS England, in the exercise of functions relating to pharmaceutical services or local pharmaceutical services, to consult committees recognised by it under this section on such occasions and to such extent as may be prescribed. (7) Subsection (6) does not affect any other power to require NHS England to consult committees recognised by it under this section.

(9) NHS England may, on the request of any committee recognised by it under this section, allot to that committee such sums for defraying the committee's administrative expenses (other than any determined under subsection (12)) as may be determined by NHS England. (10) Any sums so allotted must be out of the moneys available to NHS England for the remuneration of persons of whom the committee is representative under subsection (1)(a). (11) The amount of any such sums must be deducted from the remuneration of those persons in such manner as may be determined by NHS England. (12) A committee recognised under subsection (1)(b), (c) or (d) must, in respect of each year, determine the amount of its administrative expenses for that year attributable to the persons of whom it is representative under subsection (2) or (3). (13) The committee must apportion the amount determined under subsection (12) among the persons of whom it is representative under subsection (2) or (3), and each such person must pay in accordance with the committee's directions the amount so apportioned to him.

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".

Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.

A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.
