(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends two instruments relating to the operation, membership and proceedings of integration joint boards and integration joint monitoring committees, which are established under the Public Bodies (Joint Working) (Scotland) Act 2014.
Matters which must be included in the standing orders of an integration joint board or integration joint monitoring committee are set out in the instruments being amended. This includes specifying the procedure to be used where a board or committee member has a conflict of interest in relation to an item of business.
Article 2 amends the Public Bodies (Joint Working) (Integration Joint Boards) (Scotland) Order 2014 to provide that an integration joint board member is to determine whether to declare a conflict of interest and participate in discussion or consideration of the matter in question at a board meeting. Article 3 amends the Public Bodies (Joint Working) (Integration Joint Monitoring Committees) (Scotland) Order 2014 for the same purpose.
Article 4 makes transitional provision to require integration joint boards and integration joint monitoring committees which already have standing orders in place to update their standing orders to take account of these changes as soon as reasonably practicable.
