The Coronavirus Act 2020 (Suspension: Adult Social Care) (Scotland) Regulations 2020
These Regulations partially suspend the operation of section 16 (duty of local authority to assess needs: Scotland) of the Coronavirus Act 2020 (“the 2020 Act”) insofar it relates to adult social care and adult carers. The partial suspension of section 16 of the 2020 Act means that the suspended provisions no longer have effect in Scotland but are capable of being revived under section 88(3) of the 2020 Act.
