 EXPLANATORY NOTE (This note is not part of the Order)

This Order establishes integration joint boards for the purposes of the Public Bodies (Joint Working) (Scotland) Act 2014 (“the 2014 Act”).

Article 2, together with the Schedule, makes provision for the establishment of integration joint boards in respect of the local authority areas listed. By virtue of the 2014 Act, once an integration joint board is established, it is to carry out such statutory health and social care functions as the local authority and health board for that area delegate to the integration joint board. Full provision for the delegation of functions and the local operation of each integration joint board is set out in an integration scheme prepared under section 1 or 2 of the 2014 Act, which has been approved by the Scottish Ministers in advance of the integration joint board being established.
