Criminal Justice (Scotland) Act 2016

Overview of the Act

Part 6 - Miscellaneous

Chapter 2 - Support for Vulnerable Persons
Section 99 - Responsibility for ensuring availability of appropriate adults

253.Section 99 provides that Scottish Ministers may by regulations confer on a person the function of ensuring that appropriate adult support is available to those who require it and how that support may or must be discharged by the person upon whom that function has been conferred.

254.Section 99 will allow Scottish Ministers to specify that such a person be responsible for ensuring those services are available throughout Scotland, or if required, just in different parts of Scotland. This will allow flexibility, should it be required, where a different person may have responsibility in one area of Scotland if they are best placed to discharge that function.
