Public engagement in relation to NHS service reconfiguration.

Public engagement in relation to NHS service reconfiguration. 
Mills & Reeves 3 February 2020
  • Discussion of a judgement where the appellant sought to argue that two CCGs had breached the statutory duty to involve the public at section 14Z2 NHS Act 2006 (because the consultation needed to have taken place before the “retain services” option was discarded which had been done in committee) and that the consultation exercise undertaken by the CCGs was unlawful because it did not include consultation on a ‘do nothing’ option / did not explain why it had been rejected.
