Informal Advice. The TDA may request from Monitor informal advice on the competition issues that may arise with respect to a merger between NHS trusts. Informal advice will allow decision makers to make a more informed assessment of the competition risks associated with different options which can inform the decision on whether to devote time and resource to developing a proposal further. Monitor and the TDA expect that informal advice will be requested at a stage where a limited number of merger options are emerging as viable options. The value of the advice is much reduced if there only remains a single viable merger partner and no other options under consideration although it can still be used to help identify the key issues that are likely to be analysed as part of the substantive competitive assessment and therefore enable the merger parties to plan resource accordingly. When making a request for informal advice, the TDA will provide Monitor with the following information:  Identity of the merging parties;  High level description of services provided by each of the merger parties and where they currently provide these services from; and  Details of any plans to reconfigure existing services in area. Monitor’s informal advice will consist of an email setting out the key issues that have been identified based on the information provided. The content will be tailored to the issues being considered and range of potential merger options upon which advice is being sought. Informal advice is not determinative or binding on Monitor. For practical reasons the advice will not be subject to review and/or approval by the Monitor board or the members of Monitor’s co- operation and competition panel. Monitor expects that in the majority of cases it will be able to provide informal advice within 10 working days of receiving the information it requires. However, the exact timing will depend on, amongst other things, the available resources within Monitor at the time, the number of potential merger options on which advice is being sought and whether any of the options raise new or novel issues which Monitor has not considered in detail in previous reviews. Advice based on substantive assessment The TDA will notify Monitor when a merger between NHS trusts has been identified as the preferred option for those trusts. Monitor will provide the TDA with advice based on a substantive assessment of the merger. This advice will be provided for mergers between all types of NHS trusts, inclu...
Informal Advice. Informal advice which may involve the offer of counselling is an integral part of the activity of staff management; it should be carried out in an open and honest manner and recorded on the pro forma at Annex A for future reference. This informal advice does not form part of the following procedures and should be recognised as being quite separate from them. Notwithstanding the informality of the advice, the employee being counselled has the right to be accompanied and/or represented by a Trade Union or Professional Association official or any other person of their choice. Where an individual expresses the desire to be accompanied, this request will be granted. Procedures These procedures will have the following application and scope: These procedures apply to all employees of Argyll and Bute Council; Nothing in these procedures affects the rights of an employee under the National Agreements set out in the terms and conditions handbook of the appropriate Scottish National Council, or an employee’s rights under any relevant legislation; No disciplinary action, as specified in these procedures, will be taken against an accredited Trade Union or Professional Association official until the circumstances of the case have been discussed, after obtaining their permission, with the appropriate full-time officer of the organisation concerned. Under the Equalities Legislation employees should advise if any special arrangements are required.
Informal Advice. When the Com- mission, at its discretion, determines that it will not issue an opinion letter as defined in § 1626.18, the Commission may provide informal advice or guid- ance to the requestor. An informal let- ter of advice does not represent the for- mal position of the Commission and does not commit the Commission to the views expressed therein.
