Nursing Homes Registration (Scotland) Act 1938 (Repealed)

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.

As published

2 Cancellation of registration.

(1) Subject as provided in this Act, a Health Board may by order at any time cancel the registration of a person in respect of any nursing home on any ground which would entitle them to refuse an application for the registration of that person in respect of that home, or on the ground that that person has been convicted of an offence against this Act or against Part II of the Midwives and Maternity Homes (Scotland) Act 1927, or that any other person has been convicted of such an offence in respect of that home or on the ground that any condition imposed by or under section 1(3D) to (3G) of this Act has not been complied with: Provided that (a) where a person’s registration in respect of a home is in force immediately before the coming into force of paragraph 8 of Schedule 4 to the Health Services Act 1980, the Health Board shall not cancel the registration on any ground mentioned in paragraph (c) or (d) of the proviso to subsection (3) of section 1 of this Act before the expiration of the period of three months beginning with the day on which the relevant notice is served by them under subsection (3A) or (3B) of that section; and (b) in the case of a person registered in respect of a maternity home under any enactment repealed by this Act, the Health Board shall not cancel the registration of that person in respect of that home on the ground that if does not comply with the provisions of paragraph (d) of subsection (3) of section one of this Act until the expiration of three months after the Board have given him notice in writing requiring that the provisions of the said paragraph shall be complied with. (2) Upon the registration of any person in respect of any home being cancelled, the holder of the certificate of registration shall forthwith deliver up the certificate to the Health Board.

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.
