While it's true that 'consultation' is required only for substantial changes, there is a much wider duty on all parts of the NHS to involve patients & the public on all service changes, in S242, which is often overlooked. And larger centres are better only if the evidence is there to show increased volume equates with improved outcomes, not always the case.
