Legislative Context. The passage of Act 114 of 2006 facilitated seamless transfer of up to 30 credits of foundation coursework among two- to four-year public institutions. The passage of Act 50 of 2009 required these same institutions to accept for transfer the entire Associate of Arts and Associate of Science degree, including early childhood education, toward the graduation requirements of parallel bachelor degree programs. Program-to-program transfer articulation eliminates the need for a course-by-course evaluation by the receiving four-year institution. In its place is a focus on major competencies, learning outcomes and the existence of valid evaluation measures.

Legislative Context. 4.1 Mutual recognition of driving disqualification between the UK and Ireland was previously in operation from 28th January 2010 to 1st December 2014 pursuant to the European Convention on Driving Disqualifications of 17th June 1998 (Convention 98/C 216/01, “the Convention”). This was given legal effect in the UK by Chapter 1 of Part 3 of the 2003 Act.
Legislative Context. The legislative context for the development of Community Health Partnerships (CHPs) was set out in the Government White Papers Partnership for Care and Delivering for Health and strengthened in the NHS Reform (Scotland) Act 2004. Statutory Guidance was published in October 2004. The CHP Regulations form the legislative base within which the guidance is based and came into effect on 1st October 2004. CHPs provide a focus for the integration between primary care and specialist services and with social care and ensure that local population health improvement is placed at the heart of service planning and delivery. The CHP: Involving People Advice notes published in December 2004 sets out the guidance for involving the public more in the overall development and design of health services through the formation of Public Partnership Forums (PPFs). The three main roles of the PPF are to: • Enable the CHP to inform local people about the range and location of health and social services and information which the CHP is responsible for including board wide services. • To support and enable the CHP to engage local people in discussion about how to improve health and social services within the CHP area and raise issues from the community perspective. • Support wider public involvement in planning and developing more responsive health and social services to reflect the local needs and preferences and to improve accountability to the local community. The PPF should be the main mechanism by which the CHP engages, communicates and maintains a meaningful dialogue with the people of the community it serves. The 2004 guidance states that Public Partnership Forums must have a formal role in the decision making process of Community Health Partnerships and a representative from the PPF should serve on the CHP committee. In 2007 the Scottish Government published the Better Health, Better Care action plan. This builds on the contribution already made by CHPs and recognises the valuable contribution made through the Public Partnership Forums. It aims to shift the balance of care by improving access, managing demand, reducing unnecessary referrals and providing better community care services.
