Health and Social Care Act 2012

Changes following report

808.Paragraph 7 requires Monitor to act on relevant recommendations made by the Competition Commission. Before doing so, Monitor must send a notice of the proposed changes to licence conditions to the relevant persons, explaining why it is taking such action, and publish the notice. The notice must specify a period – of at least 28 days from the date of publication - within which comments on the changes may be made. Once Monitor had considered the responses, it must notify the Commission, specifying the changes it proposes to make in response to the Commission’s report.

809.There would then be a four-week period, during which the Commission may direct Monitor (under paragraph 8) not to make the changes set out in the notice, or not to make some of the changes. Insofar as the Commission does not issue such directions, Monitor is required (under paragraph 7(11)) to make the changes it has proposed in response to the Commission’s report.
