'Who watches the watchdogs?’ Urgent reform is needed to improve accountability and independence of UK regulators, says Lords committee. The House of Lords Industry and Regulators Committee has published a new report, which raises concerns over the functioning of the three-way relationship between regulators, the government, and Parliament. There are over 90 regulators in the UK, and they wield significant powers. The committee highlights that, amid a series of high-profile failures, there are growing concerns over the performance of regulators, their independence from political interference, and how they are held to account.      In its report, the committee recommends that a fresh approach to overseeing UK regulation is needed, calling for the creation of an ‘Office for Regulatory Performance’ to investigate regulators’ performance and support Parliament in scrutinising regulators. 📄 Read the report https://lnkd.in/eP7wi7fm 

How regulators work might seem like a dry subject so you will be forgiven for not having clocked this report from the House of Lords Regulators Committee - but functional and effective regulators are a vital part of Government. Get it right and productivity and innovation flourish; get it wrong and the UK becomes a much less attractive place to do business. Lots of views expressed from across the regulatory community in this report on independence, the skills challenge for regulators, accountability and engagement. For me, as a legislation wonk, I was particularly interested in the recommendation in the report that Government should avoid overloading regulators with too many objectives, especially those which they should “consider”, “take account of” or “have regard to” - perhaps a fair challenge to those setting up new regulators or looking afresh at established ones #regulatoryoverload

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) has put forth a rule to prohibit healthcare debt from appearing on a consumer's credit report. Nearly 50% of Americans have declared their inability to afford healthcare costs. With premiums rising 47% since 2013 and high cost-sharing leaving patients in an "underinsured" state, this proposed change is certain to significantly affect a provider's revenue recovery processes, costs, and financial performance. #revenuerecovery #RCM #emsbilling #healthcarefinance #ems
