With this it will be convenient to discuss new clause 15—Failings by English NHS bodies —
‘(1) Following a review under section 42 or 45, or a review or investigation under Section 44, the Commission must inform the Secretary of State if it considers that—
(a) there are significant failings in relation to the provision of health care by or pursuant to arrangements made by an English NHS body,
(b) there are significant failings in the running of an English NHS body, or
(c) there are significant failings in the running of a body, or the practice of an individual, providing healthcare pursuant to arrangements made by an English NHS body.
(2) The commission may also recommend to the Secretary of State that, with a view to remedying those failings, the Secretary of State take special measures—
(a) in a case falling within subsection (1)(a) or (b), in relation to the NHS body concerned
(b) in a case falling within (1)(c), in relation to the body or individual concerned.’.
