This Order modifies schedule 3 to the Ethical Standards in Public Life etc. (Scotland) Act 2000 (“the 2000 Act”) which lists those bodies that are “devolved public bodies” for the purposes of that Act.
Article 2(2)(a) removes from schedule 3 of the 2000 Act the Parole Board for Scotland, thus releasing it from the obligation to subscribe to an approved code of conduct, bringing it into line with other Tribunal Non Departmental Public Bodies.
Article 2(2)(b) and (c) add National Waiting Times Centre Board, NHS 24 and Quality Meat Scotland to schedule 3 of the 2000 Act. The bodies will become subject to the obligation to adopt an approved code of conduct, which will be legally enforceable.
