A Bill to make provision about health scrutiny by local authorities, including scrutiny of clinical commissioning groups' decisions; and for connected purposes.
This Bill would set up a framework for local authorities to scrutinise health services in their areas. It requires them to examine decisions made by clinical commissioning groups and other NHS bodies, with processes to support accountability and public engagement. In short, it's about giving local communities a clearer, formal way to question health decisions locally.
The Bill is currently at the second reading in the House of Commons and has not yet progressed to committee stage. If it proceeds, it would move to detailed consideration by a committee before progressing to further readings.
