For example, Monitor may use its licensing powers to support commissioners in securing continuity of services or to enable integration of services and co-operation between providers.
784.Subsection (4) provides that Monitor must not exercise its powers to set or modify conditions so as to unfairly advantage or disadvantage providers as a result of their having a particular status, including whether they are in the public or private sector.
