Recommendations
Recommendations (the sheriff's words)I would merely express the hope that, if there is not already in place an effective procedure for the regular and comprehensive review of the hospital's systems to ensure that it continues to serve the fundamental purposes for which it exists, then such a procedure should be introduced now.
Under section 28 of the 2016 Act, each recipient of a recommendation must respond within 8 weeks. The 8-week window is counted from the publication date. See how we track responses.
