Care Standards Act 2000
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.
Change 1
2 Independent hospitals etc.
(1) Subsections (2) to (6) apply for the purposes of this Act as it applies in relation to Wales. (2) A hospital which is not a health service hospital is an independent hospital. (3) “Hospital” (except in the expression health service hospital) means— (a) an establishment— (i) the main purpose of which is to provide medical or psychiatric treatment for illness or mental disorder or palliative care; or (ii) in which (whether or not other services are also provided) any of the listed services are provided; (b) any other establishment in which treatment or nursing (or both) are provided for persons liable to be detained under the Mental Health Act 1983. (4) “Independent clinic” means an establishment of a prescribed kind (not being a hospital) in which services are provided by medical practitioners (whether or not any services are also provided for the purposes of the establishment elsewhere). But an establishment in which, or for the purposes of which, services are provided by medical practitioners in pursuance of the National Health Service Act 2006 or the National Health Service (Wales) Act 2006 is not an independent clinic. (5) “Independent medical agency” means an undertaking (not being an independent clinic or an independent hospital) which consists of or includes the provision of services by medical practitioners. But if any of the services are provided for the purposes of an independent clinic, or by medical practitioners in pursuance of the National Health Service Act 2006 or the National Health Service (Wales) Act 2006, it is not an independent medical agency. (6) References to a person liable to be detained under the Mental Health Act 1983 do not include a person absent in pursuance of leave granted under section 17 of that Act. (7) In this section “listed services” means— (a) medical treatment under anaesthesia or sedation; (b) dental treatment under general anaesthesia; (c) obstetric services and, in connection with childbirth, medical services; (d) termination of pregnancies; (e) cosmetic surgery other than— (i) ear and body piercing; (ii) tattooing; (iii) the subcutaneous injection of a substance or substances into the skin for cosmetic purposes; and (iv) the removal of hair roots or small blemishes on the skin by the application of heat using an electric current; (f) treatment using prescribed techniques or prescribed technology. (8) Regulations may— (a) except any description of establishment from the definitions in subsections (2) to (4); (b) except any description of undertaking from the definition in subsection (5); (c) modify the definition in subsection (7).

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.
