The Public Bodies (Joint Working) (Scotland) Act 2014 was passed by the Scottish Parliament
on 25 February 2014 and received Royal Assent in April 2014. This established the framework
for the integration of health and adult social care in Scotland, to be governed by Integration
Authorities with responsibility for the strategic planning of the functions delegated to it and for
ensuring the delivery of its functions through the locally agreed operational arrangements.
Following approval from Dundee City Council and NHS Tayside, the Dundee Integration
Scheme, the formal legal partnership agreement between the two parent organisations, was
submitted to the Scottish Ministers in August 2015. On 3 October 2015 Scottish Ministers
legally established Dundee’s Integration Joint Board as a body corporate by virtue of the Public
Bodies (Joint Working) (Integration Joint Board) (Scotland) Amendment (No 3) Order 2015.
The Integration Scheme was subsequently reviewed by the statutory partners and approved
by the Scottish Government in November 2022.
