National Health Service (Private Finance) Act 1997
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
1 Powers of NHS trusts to enter into agreements.
(1) The powers of a Health Board, a Special Health Board and the Common Services Agency for the Scottish Health Service (“the Agency”) to enter into contracts include power to enter into externally financed development agreements. (2) For the purposes of this section, an agreement is an externally financed development agreement if it is certified as such in writing by the Secretary of State. (3) The Secretary of State may give a certificate under this section if— (a) in his opinion the purpose or main purpose of the agreement is the provision of facilities in connection with the discharge by the Board or, as the case may be, the Agency of any of its functions; and (b) a person proposes to make a loan to, or provide any other form of finance for, another party in connection with the agreement. (4) If a Health Board, a Special Health Board or the Agency enters into an externally financed development agreement it may also, in connection with that agreement, enter into an agreement with a person who falls within subsection (3)(b) in relation to the externally financed development agreement. (5) In subsection (3)— “another party” means any party to the agreement other than the Board or, as the case may be, the Agency ; and “facilities” includes— works, buildings, plant, equipment or other property; and services. (6) The fact that an agreement made by a Health Board, a Special Health Board or the Agency has not been certified under this section does not affect its validity.

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.
