Local Government and Public Involvement in Health Bill

I am following my hon. Friend’s logic with considerable interest. Does he understand whether the proposal might involve a two-way street? I am not clear about that; perhaps the Minister will clarify the point when she winds up the debate. If the boundary committee decides that a one-member ward is a good idea and that goes ahead, but for one reason or another it does not work as well as expected, will it be possible to make a similar application after five or six years, saying, for example, ““Okay, it hasn’t worked. Let’s go back to a two or three-member ward””?
