Consultation process
A public consultation on the creation of new specialist places took place between 19 June and 24 July 2019.
At its meeting on 18 September, members of the Executive Board considered the outcome of the public consultation and approved the publication of the Statutory Notice,
The notice was published on 14 October 2019 marking the start of a four week formal consultation, also known as the ‘representation’ stage as prescribed in the ‘Prescribed Alterations’ regulations.
During this four week period, which ended on 11 November 2019, anyone could raise views/ concerns that had not been previously raised or addressed during the public consultation. There were no representations made during the representation period.
