With this, we may discuss new Clause 12—Duty of co-operation with council for healthcare regulatory excellence —
‘The OHPA shall have a duty to co-ordinate its activities, and share information, with the Council for Healthcare Regulatory Excellence.’
A parliamentary bill is divided into sections called clauses.
Printed in the margin next to each clause is a brief explanatory `side-note' giving details of what the effect of the clause will be.
During the committee stage of a bill, MPs examine these clauses in detail and may introduce new clauses of their own or table amendments to the existing clauses.
When a bill becomes an Act of Parliament, clauses become known as sections.
