Subordinate Legislation
National Health Service (Clinical Negligence and Other Risks Indemnity Scheme) (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2008 (SSI 2008/60)
Good morning and welcome to the eighth meeting in 2008 of the Health and Sport Committee. I remind all members and anybody in the public gallery to switch their mobile phones off.
Item 1 on the agenda is subordinate legislation. The negative instrument before us for consideration amends the National Health Service (Clinical Negligence and Other Risks Indemnity Scheme) (Scotland) Regulations 2000 (SSI 2000/54), which established a scheme to enable cost-effective risk pooling and claims management for a broad spectrum of clinical and non-clinical risks incurred by scheme members, including health boards, special health boards, the Common Services Agency and the Mental Welfare Commission for Scotland. The 2008 regulations will change the way in which the scheme is funded, moving from funding in advance to retrospective funding.
No comments have been received from members and no motions to annul have been lodged. Are we agreed that the committee does not wish to make any recommendations in relation to the regulations?
Members indicated agreement.
