150.Section 58 adds a new paragraph into the definition of “other service provider” in section 7(1) of the Children and Young People (Scotland) Act 2014, inserting a reference to integration joint boards. This means that services provided under functions delegated to an integration joint board will be treated in the same way, for the purposes of Part 3 of that Act, as services provided by Health Boards or local authorities.
