Propose a change

National Health Service (Wales) 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

97 NHS contracts and the provision of piloted services

(1) In the case of a pilot scheme entered into, or to be entered into, by a single individual or body corporate (other than an NHS foundation trust), that individual or body may make an application under this section to become a health service body. (2) In the case of any other pilot scheme, all of those providing, or proposing to provide, piloted services under the scheme may together make an application under this section to become a single health service body. (3) An application must— (a) be made to the Welsh Ministers in accordance with such provisions as may be made by regulations, and (b) specify the pilot scheme in relation to which it is made. (4) Except in such cases as may be prescribed, the Welsh Ministers may grant an application. (5) If an application is granted, the Welsh Ministers must specify a date in relation to that application and, as from that date— (a) in the case of an application under subsection (1), the applicant is, and (b) in the case of an application under subsection (2), the applicants together are, a health service body for the purposes of section 7. (6) That section has effect in relation to such a health service body (“a PHS body”), acting as commissioner, as if the functions referred to in section 7(1) were the provision of piloted services. (7) Except in such circumstances as may be prescribed, a PHS body resulting from an application under subsection (2) must be treated, at any time, as consisting of those who are providing piloted services under the scheme. (8) A direction as to payment made under section 7(11) against, or in favour of, a PHS body is enforceable in the county court (if the court so orders) as if it were a judgment or order of that court. (9) Regulations may provide for a PHS body to cease to be a PHS body in prescribed circumstances. (10) The Welsh Ministers must— (a) maintain and publish a list of PHS bodies, (b) publish a revised copy of the list as soon as is reasonably practicable after any change is made to it. (11) The list must be published in such manner as the Welsh Ministers consider appropriate.

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.
