@juliefair Ahem.
Might be worth having a closer look before you jump to conclusions.
1/. It is a regret motion (it doesn’t actually repeal the H&SC Act. Merely regrets that the Gov has not put repealing legislation in the Queen’s Speech.

@juliefair 2/. I wouldn’t vote for it anyway without have plenty of time to go through each provision in the Act. Should the whole Act be repealed.
Are there parts we need to keep?
Is it better to amend it? In what ways. I certainly wouldn’t go “Oh yes. Let’s!” So carelessly.

@juliefair I thought...you know...just to show some very basic due diligence..that I had better have a little look at the Act that they propose appealing (without suggesting alternative provisions.
All over 300 provisions PLUS 23 Schedules.
Knock yourself out.

@juliefair Let me see.
Provisions to require cooperation with the Care Quality Commission.
Sure. Repeal it with nothing to replace it?
No. I don’t think so.

@juliefair Just a completely random selection
Stuff on Fuoridation of Water? Yes. I might want to keep that.
Other stuff dealing with the discharge if Mental Health Patients.
Yes. I’d be worried about appealing that without a lot of cre about what would replace it.

@juliefair And this is just a list of SOME of the provisions.
No way I would just be blithely repealing this.
It would take me a very very long time to go through each provision AND ALL the related legislation that it purposes to amend.

@juliefair And this is a link to several explanatory notes about the Act on the Gov website.
One would have thought that they would have at least managed to flick through those and consider that maybe a bit more time and trouble and consultation would pay off.
