Propose a change

National Health Service Reorganisation Act 1973 (repealed 28.6.1995)

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

14 Abolition of authorities.

(1) All Regional Hospital Boards, Hospital Management Committees and Executive Councils, the Joint Pricing Committee for England, the Welsh Joint Pricing Committee and, except as provided by the following section, all Boards of Governors shall cease to exist on the appointed day; and on that day any authority which is a local health authority by virtue of section 19 of the principal Act shall cease to be a local health authority and all joint boards constituted in pursuance of that section shall cease to exist. (2) The Secretary of State may by order make such provision as he considers appropriate in anticipation or in consequence of the abolition by the preceding subsection of any body or in connection with the winding up of the body’s affairs; and if a body abolished by that subsection has, as respects a period before the appointed day, not performed a duty imposed on the body by subsection (1) or (2) of section 98 of the National Health Service Act 1977 (which relate to accounts), then— (a) it shall be the duty of the Secretary of State to secure that the duty so imposed is performed by a Regional or Area or District Health Authority or special health authority determined by him; and (b) that section shall have effect in relation to the body and period in question as if for references to each financial year in subsections (2) and (4) there were substituted references to that period and as if the word “annual” in subsection (2) were omitted.

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.
