Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Order)

Section 8(2) of the Transport (Scotland) Act 2005 places each Health Board under a duty to, so far as possible, perform those of its functions and activities which relate to or which affect or are affected by transport consistently with the transport strategy of the (or, as the case may be, each) Transport Partnership in relation to which it is specified.

This Order, made in exercise of the powers contained in section 8(3) of the Act, specifies, as respects each Health Board, which Transport Partnership’s transport strategy is, or which Transport Partnerships' transport strategies are, for the purposes of section 8(2), the strategy or strategies consistently with which the Board is to perform its functions.
