Mills & Reeve 9 March 2016
- A High Court judge has refused an application for permission to bring a judicial review, brought by a claimant challenging a CCG’s decision to cut the numbers of community hospital inpatient beds.
- Grounds for refusal included delay in application and lack of evidence to indicate that the decision-making process was illegal or irrational and therefore the Court would not be used as a tool for re-taking the CCG’s decision.
- "This case underlines the importance of making sure that controversial proposals are clearly and openly aired in a public consultation process that reaches those who may be affected by the changes."
