(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the National Health Service Central Register (Scotland) Regulations 2006 which prescribe the information that can be shared by the Registrar General for Scotland in operating the National Health Service Central Register for Scotland.
They make an amendment to update the bodies with which information can be shared following the transfer of certain functions of the Office of National Statistics to the Statistics Board (also known as the UK Statistics Authority) established by the Statistics and Registration Services Act 2007 (c.18) for England and Wales.
