Integration of
Health and
Social Care
Services
Public Bodies (Joint Working) (Scotland) Bill
The purpose of the above Bill is to create statutory Health and Social
Care Partnerships in each local authority in cooperation with health
boards to replace existing Community Health Partnerships (CHP’s).
In Lanarkshire two Health and Social Care Partnerships have been
developed, one each in North and South Lanarkshire and these will
replace existing CHP’s. Discussions between NHS Lanarkshire and the
two Local Authorities are on-going in considering the range of services
that will be managed through the Health and Social Care Partnerships.
In the North a Shadow Board is being established with ongoing
recruitment taking place. In the South a Shadow Board is now in place.
A strategic plan will be developed for each Health and Social Care
Partnership including considering the range of services that will be
managed from April 2015. This service may in the future be included
within this range.
Management
Structure
The supporting operational and clinical management structures are

IMMIGRATION

Changes to
Immigration
Impact of
Change
Further
Information
For the purpose of immigration status, overseas doctors and dentists are
those who, regardless of where they obtain their primary medical/dental
qualification, are not nationals of the European Economic Area (EEA). A
list of EEA countries is attached.
On 7th March 2006 the Department of Health announced changes to the
immigration rules for postgraduate doctors and dentists. The changes
came into effect on 3rd April 2006 and mean that all doctors and dentists
who wish to work in the UK from outside the EEA will need to meet the
requirements of an employment category such as the work permit
provisions. New applications for permit-free training visas will no longer be
granted for doctors undertaking training posts
Non-EEA doctors and dentists will still be able to come and train in the UK
and are still eligible to apply, in open competition for training posts
provided all the other eligibility criteria is met. However, training posts will
now be considered employment for immigration purposes. Work permits
will only be issued where there is a specific post for the overseas doctors
that cannot be filled by someone from the EEA.
The changes in immigration requirements for trainee doctors and dentists
are a result of a Scottish Executive Health Department announcement and
immigration issues are the remit of the Home Office. Clarification and
further information can be accessed from the following:Home Office
