<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>Scotland's </SPAN><A href="https://www.scot.nhs.uk/" target="_blank" STYLE="text-decoration:underline;"><SPAN>National Health Service (NHS)</SPAN></A><SPAN> </SPAN><SPAN>is comprised of 14 Regional Health Boards and 7 Special Boards who report to the Scottish Government and deliver frontline healthcare services. The regional boards cover geographical areas and are responsible for public health protection, improvement, and frontline healthcare, while the Special Boards (non-geographical) offer national and specialist services, such as the Scottish Ambulance Service and NHS 24 for urgent health advice. This dataset provides the digital boundaries for the 14 regional boards enacted by the </SPAN><SPAN>National Health Service (Variation of Areas of Health Boards) (Scotland) Order 2013 (SSI 2013/347), which came into force on April 1st 2014, and replaces the previous definition based upon the former Regions and Districts of the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973. This change was made in order to re-align Health Boards with the combined area of each Local Authority that they serve. Subsequent changes to Local Authorities will result in corresponding amendments to Health Board boundaries in order to maintain alignment.</SPAN><SPAN> These boundaries are used for the provision of relevant statistics, delivery of frontline healthcare services and to inform policy development.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV> |
