Local Government and Public Involvement in Health Bill

That last comment about guidance is welcome but it raises the obvious question of why it has to be statutory guidance which will be read as having a particular significance. Material from central government may be helpful or a councillor may discard it. I understand that the Government may feel that it would be useful to suggest how the power might be used, and the clause is about the ““what”” of the power and the content. Those are two very different things. I come back to the first question, which involved whether non-statutory guidance should do the job.
