I hope the Committee will forgive me for descending into the realm of drafting detail, but Clause 7(3) contains the word ““notify”” as a plural verb applying to the subject of the sentence. Both the CQC and an SHA are singular entities in statute law. If they are separated, as here, by the word ““or””, the verb should be singular. Equally, at the start of Clause 8, I cannot make sense of subsection (1) without adding the number ““6”” after the word ““section””. I hope I am right about that, but if am not, I should be glad to know why. I beg to move.
