The Act

Part 6 – Health Care: Scrutiny and Improvement

Section 108 – Healthcare Improvement Scotland
Conditions as to numbers
Section 10Z3 – Conditions as to numbers

239.This section provides that HIS can limit the number of people using certain services or to whom certain services are provided either on initial registration, or through a subsequent condition notice. For example, it may be appropriate for a new provider to be restricted on numbers until they get fully established, or where an independent health care provider is causing concern the power could be used as an alternative to enforcement action (i.e. withdrawing registration).
