A few weeks ago we wrote about what we called “the quintessential consultation case”, R (The Police Superintendents’ Association) v Her Majesty’s Treasury. It was a case that covered almost all of the things we regularly see in cases: the legal principles involved, the procedural issues that can arise, and the subject of what relief […]

The drive towards better integration in the health and social care system continued last week, in advance of the final passage of the Health and Care Bill (currently at report stage in the House of Lords). In the name of getting things in place for a relatively swift turnaround, the Government published a new White
Well, off they go into recess again (in Westminster at least), a welcome week-long reprieve for the Prime Minister from the risks of shady plots being discussed in shadowy corners. For MPs, it’s time to go and take the temperature of their constituents, find out what they’re worried about and how quickly they think he

It’s now six long years since the referendum on leaving the European Union, six years of posturing, politics, and negotiation to secure the ultimate prize. It’s over two years now since we left, sharing drinks celebratory, commiserative or entirely indifferent. So, what has this new era of freedom brought us, other than a lot more
On 31st January the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care announced that the Government would be u-turning on their policy of requiring all patient-facing health and care staff to be fully vaccinated against covid by April this year. The change will be subject to a one-week long online-only consultation that started this last

Be that as it may, we can’t be watching the famous door all the time- there’s things happening elsewhere (albeit this

When the statue of Edward Colston, prominent Bristolian and slaver, was toppled and unceremoniously dumped in the harbour during a BLM protest in June 2020, it triggered an intense debate about the propriety of the removal of statues and monuments to historical figures from public spaces. It became a key point of debate in arguments
2nd February saw the publication of the Government’s landmark “levelling up” paper. It’s fair to say there’s quite a lot riding on it- it was a key promise for the Government in the 2019 election, and the few elements that have been delivered at this point have often been decried as being either underwhelming, or
Will levelling-up lead to a new interest in regeneration projects? Almost 20 years ago, as The Consultation Institute was opening its doors, one of the most visible themes in the public sector was urban regeneration. Following from well-publicised heroics by Michael Heseltine in Merseyside and the imaginative redevelopment of Docklands in London, many cities had

Chaos reigns. Four hundred years on from the first report of a Downing Street Work Event, and a fractured country still awaits the publication of the Gray report. It’s taken on different significances in the different nations of post-collapse Britain. In the restored Duchy of Westminster, the press still write about it every day, carving
