|Integration of Health and |Public Bodies (Joint Working) (Scotland) Bill |
|Social Care Services | |
| |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 focused on enhancing patient safety, quality |
| |improvement and local delivery at hospital level, with visibility of clinical leadership and support for individual |
| |professional accountability. Our Medical Managers will provide professional leadership to medical staff, ensuring |
| |that they are effectively developed, organised, integrated and managed to support the strategic aims of each Division|
| |and meet the needs of the patient. |

|addition to personal contributions NHS Lanarkshire will contribute 13.5%. |
| |

|exceeds 3 months, membership of the scheme will be closed and leaver information will be submitted to the Scottish Public Pensions Agency. |
|From 1 April 2015 the NHS Pension Scheme is changing in line with other public pension schemes. All those joining the scheme for the first time |
|from 1 April 2015 will join the new scheme. Existing members who are not protected will transfer to the new scheme, with benefits in previous |
|scheme(s) preserved. The new scheme will be based on a proportion (1/54th) of the member’s pensionable earnings each year. The pension will be the|
|sum of each year’s value built up over the length of the member’s career and revalued each year in line with the rate of inflation. This is called |
|a Career Average Related Earnings scheme. Normal pension age will be linked to the member’s individual state pension age. |

| |their primary medical/dental qualification, are not nationals of the European Economic Area (EEA). A list of EEA |
| |countries is attached. |
|Changes to Immigration |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 |
|Impact of Change |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. |
|Further Information |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:- |
