Propose a change

National Health Service Act 2006

Write the words of this act the way you think they should read. Solon shows your change as a redline against the published text and pins it to that exact text, so it can never be applied to wording you did not see.

What to do with it
As published

(1) Subsection (2) applies where the terms of a trust instrument authorise or require the trustees, whether immediately or in the future, to apply any part of the capital or income of the trust property for the purposes of any health service hospital. (2) The trust instrument must be construed as authorising or requiring the trustees to apply the trust property to the like extent, and at the like times, for the purpose of making payments, whether of capital or income, to the appropriate hospital authority. (3) Any sum paid to the appropriate hospital authority must, so far as practicable, be applied by it for the purpose specified in the trust instrument. (4) “The appropriate hospital authority” means— (a) where Welsh special trustees are appointed for the hospital, those trustees, (b) where the hospital is managed by, and trustees have been appointed for, an NHS trust, ... ..., the trustees, (c) where the hospital is managed by an NHS trust, an NHS foundation trust ... and neither paragraph (a) nor paragraph (b) applies, the NHS trust, NHS foundation trust ..., and (d) in any other case— (i) where the hospital is vested in the Secretary of State, the Special Health Authority exercising functions of the Secretary of State in respect of it or, where there is no such Special Health Authority, the Secretary of State, (ii) where the Welsh Ministers have functions in respect of the hospital, the Special Health Authority or Local Health Board exercising those functions. (5) Nothing in this section applies to property transferred under section 24 of the National Health Service Reorganisation Act 1973. (6) In this section— “health service hospital” includes such a hospital within the meaning of section 206 of the National Health Service (Wales) Act 2006 (c. 42), and “Welsh special trustees” means special trustees within the meaning of section 160 of that Act.

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.

Think it through

Ask what your change would do, who would gain and who would bear a cost, and where something like it is already law. The assistant reads your draft as it stands, cites the law and the studies it finds, and takes no side. What you file stays yours.
