NHS SCOTLAND HEALTH BOARDS



NHS Boards are responsible for expenditure of around £17 billion per year of
which £10 billion is delegated to 31 Integration Joint Boards (IJBs) and employ
over 170,000 members of staff. There are 14 territorial NHS Boards, which are
responsible for the protection and the improvement of their population’s health
and for the delivery of frontline healthcare services.  There are also 8
national bodies, which provide a range of support, specialist and national level
services. Each Health Body has its own ‘Board’ of governance which is
accountable through the Board Chair to Scottish Ministers. 

 

They have governance responsibilities ranging from protecting, improving and
maintaining the health of the population to the planning and delivery of safe,
effective, sustainable, efficient and good quality NHS services in their areas. 
Each Board requires a diverse mix of individuals with varying skills and
experiences to help in their operation. 

 

 

One of the main functions is to put government policies into practice in the
best way possible.  

 

All Health Bodies work together for the benefit of the people of Scotland.  They
work closely with partner public organisations across Scotland to fulfil the
Scottish Government’s Purpose and National Outcomes. 

 

Further information on each of the Health Boards operating in Scotland can be
found here.
