This order amends article 2 of the Continuing Care (Scotland) Order 2015 (S.S.I. 2015/158) with the effect that the higher age limit for “eligible persons” specified for the purposes of section 26A(2)(b) of the Children (Scotland) Act 1995 (“1995 Act”) is nineteen years of age (increased from eighteen). This means that an “eligible person” for the purposes of the duty on local authorities to provide continuing care under section 26A of the 1995 Act is a person who is at least sixteen years of age and who has not yet reached the age of nineteen.
1995 c.36. Section 26A was inserted by section 67(1) of the Children and Young People (Scotland) Act 2014 (asp 8). Section 26A(13) contains a definition of “specified” for the purposes of section 26A.
Article 2 is amended by S.S.I. 2016/92.
