Subordinate Legislation


National Health Service (Superannuation Scheme, Pension Scheme, Injury Benefits and Additional Voluntary Contributions) (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2010 (SSI 2010/22)

The Convener (Christine Grahame)

Good morning, everyone. I welcome you to the Health and Sport Committee’s eighth meeting in 2010. We have a heavy agenda, so I am kicking off as fast as I can. I remind everyone to switch off mobile phones and other electronic equipment. We have received no apologies.

Agenda item 1 is consideration of five negative instruments. The first is SSI 2010/22. The regulations amend existing regulations on the national health service superannuation scheme in Scotland. The cover paper sets out more detail on the amendments. The Subordinate Legislation Committee raised several drafting points on the regulations, which it drew to our attention. Are members content not to make any recommendation on the regulations?

Members indicated agreement.

The regulations correct an error in the Food Enzymes (Scotland) Regulations 2009, which I am sure that all the committee members noticed.
