The Board has a statutory responsibility, principally under the Mental Health (Care and Treatment) (Scotland) Act 2003, to provide access to independent advocacy for specific groups of people. In addition to the legislative requirement to provide access to independent advocacy for these groups, recent policy for health and welfare in Scotland views patients and the public as partners in a mutual NHS. "Better Health, Netter Care: An Action Plan (2007)" commits Health Boards to treating patients and the public as partners in their care and access to Independent Advocacy can ensure that all individuals and groups can engage in this process. Independent Advocacy ensures equality of access to services particularly for those groups which may otherwise be excluded. This tender seeks to ensure the ability of service users to be able to influence services and to be adequately supported to do so.
