Commentary on Sections Part 3 - Regulation of Health and Adult Social Care Services Licence conditions Section 99 – Notification of commissioners where continuity of services is at risk
792.This section provides for action to be taken by Monitor as part of its ongoing assessment of risk to the continuity of NHS health care services. It obliges Monitor to notify the NHS Commissioning Board and CCGs where it identifies significant risks to the provision of services and is satisfied that this is attributable to the way in which services are configured. Subsection (5) requires the Board and CCGs to have regard to such notifications when arranging for the continued provision of NHS health care services. It would be for commissioners to decide how best to respond to notifications under this section and section 126.
