(3) This subsection applies— (a) in a case where the request is made of NHS England, an integrated care board or a Local Health Board ..., if that body consider that, having regard to the resources available to them for the purpose of the exercise of their functions under the National Health Service Act 2006 or the National Health Service (Wales) Act 2006 , it is not reasonable for them to comply with the request, or (b) in a case where the request is made of a local authority, if that authority consider that the request is not compatible with their own statutory or other duties and obligations or unduly prejudices the discharge of any of their functions.

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.
