In this bonus episode of Not a Consultation, Caroline and Paul are joined by Jonny Williams to talk about the newly released regulations for ministerial powers to intervene in service change programmes, and the amendments to the familiar health scrutiny regulations.

They cover the Secretrary of State's new power to call in service change programmes, the duty to notify the Secretary of State of substaintial service change programmes, the removal of local authorities' power to refer to the service changes, and the new process for requesting the Secretary of State call in a service change that can be used by anyone.
