Protection of Vulnerable Groups Implementation: Protected Adult Regulations, 10/11/09 - 02/02/10 [S]
The Scottish Government is consulting on health and welfare services, receipt of which makes an individual a protected adult for the purposes of the PVG Scheme. Consultation to 2 February 2010.
The purpose of this statutory instrument is therefore to prescribe certain services, receipt of which will confer protected adult status on an individual for the purposes of the 2007 Act. There was broad support in a previous consultation for the policy intention of designating an individual as a protected adult while in receipt of an NHS or independent health care service. The Government invites comment on whether the proposals to ensure that adults are only protected when in receipt of the specified services are considered to be proportionate.
Consultation responses should be sent to pvg.enquiries@scotland.gsi.gov.uk or
