Explanatory note

This Order makes minor amendments to two instruments made under the Public Bodies (Joint Working) (Scotland) Act 2014 (“the 2014 Act”) to adjust drafting errors and remove inconsistencies in the instruments as originally made. The most significant amendments are described below.

Article 2 amends the Public Bodies (Joint Working) (Integration Joint Boards) (Scotland) Order 2014 to clarify that the chief officer of an integration joint board is to be a member of that board following their appointment to the role of chief officer (as provided for in section 10(1) of the 2014 Act). Article 2 also makes amendments to clarify the terms of articles 3 and 5 of that Order.

Article 3 amends the Public Bodies (Joint Working) (Integration Joint Monitoring Committees) (Scotland) Order 2014. Articles 3 and 5 of that Order are amended so that that they make consistent provision for the appointment of members of an integration joint monitoring committee.
