EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order brings sections 108 to 110 of the Public Services Reform (Scotland) Act 2010 (“the Act”) further into force with certain exceptions. Sections 108 to 110 relate to health care: scrutiny and improvement and have already been commenced as regards Healthcare Improvement Scotland’s (“HIS”) functions in relation to independent hospitals and private psychiatric hospitals. The effect of this Order is that HIS’s functions in relation to independent clinics are commenced. The insertion of section 10Z9(1)(a) is not commenced until 1st April 2017 so that, while independent clinics will be subject to regulation by HIS from 1st April 2016 and can be registered from that date, it is not an offence not to register. The offence provision comes into force on 1st April 2017.

Sections 103, 109, 132, 133 and 134 of the Act came into force on Royal Assent (28th April 2010).
