15. Separate statutory authority exists for respite provided to children and to adults. Section 25(2) of the Children (Scotland) Act 1995 states that local authorities may provide accommodation for any child if they consider it would promote his welfare, nothwithstanding that he or she already has suitable accommodation. In respect of adults, section 12(1) of the Social Work (Scotland) Act 1968 states that it shall be the duty of local authorities to provide assistance, including residential accommodation, as they may consider suitable. Section 12A of that Act provides that the local authorities shall make an assessment of the needs of the person, and then decide whether their needs call for the provision of services. Regulation 10(2)(c) of the Community Health Partnerships (Scotland) Regulations 2004 ( SSI 2004/386) provides that schemes of establishment shall set out the services to be provided by each CHP. Statutory Guidance, provided under section 4B(7) of the National Health Service (Scotland) Act 1978, on the functions of Community Health Partnerships, states at para. 23 that CHPs will manage and provide respite or short break services for all client groups.
