Abortion Services (Safe Access Zones) (Scotland) Act 2024

The Act

Establishment of safe access zones for protected premises

Section 3: Notification of proposed protected premises etc.

11.This section applies where abortion services are intended to be provided at a building or place after the commencement of section 1, and subsection (1) gives the label of “proposed protected premises” as being such a building or place.

12.The operator of the building or place must notify the Scottish Ministers of their intention to start providing abortion services at the building or place. The Scottish Ministers must then update the list maintained under section 2(3)(b) with the details of the proposed protected premises and the day on which the new safe access zone takes effect. That day must be at least 14 days after the list is updated and usually this would also be the day the building or place starts providing abortion services and is therefore protected premises.

13.Failure to give the notice required under subsection (2) does not affect the ability of the premises to become protected premises and have a safe access zone take effect. If the Scottish Ministers become aware that abortion services are being provided at protected premises, then they must update the list maintained under section 2(3)(b) with the details of the proposed protected premises and the day on which the new safe access zone takes effect. That day must be at least 14 days after the list is updated.
