Propose a change

National Health Service (Scotland) Act 1978

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

What to do with it
As published

10Z1 Right to make representations to HIS as respects proposals

(1) A condition notice or a notice under section 10Z must state that, within 14 days after service of the notice, the person to whom it is given may make written representations to HIS concerning any matter which that person wishes to dispute. (2) Where such a notice has been given— (a) HIS may not decide to implement the proposal until (whichever first occurs)— (i) where the person to whom the notice was given makes such representations as are mentioned in subsection (1), it has considered those representations; (ii) that person notifies HIS in writing that such representations will not be made; (iii) the period of 14 days mentioned in that subsection elapses without such representations being made and without HIS receiving such notification; and (b) where the circumstances are as mentioned in paragraph (a)(ii) or (iii) above, HIS must implement the proposal unless it appears to it that it would be inappropriate to do so.

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.
