  The Explanatory notes relating to Clause 40 stated:[3]
  
  :This clause amends the NHS Act 2006, to insert a new section, 68A. Section 68A provides for
  a new Schedule 10A to confers intervention powers on the Secretary of State in relation to
  the reconfiguration of NHS services.
  
  The clause invokes and inserts a new schedule of the National Health Service Act 2006 which "confers intervention powers on the Secretary of State in relation to the reconfiguration of NHS services". 
  
  The schedule requires NHS bodies to notify the Secretary of State about reconfiguration proposals and circumstances where reconfiguration is likely to be needed.  The Schedule provides that "The Secretary of State may give an NHS commissioning body a direction calling in any proposal by the body for the reconfiguration of NHS services."
