The Department of Health is proposing to use a Legislative Reform Order (LRO) to amend the NHS Act 2006 to:

• enable CCGs and NHS England to jointly exercise CCG functions and form a joint committee when doing so

The draft Order has been laid in parliament and is going through parliamentary procedures for approval.
