Article 2 amends the Public Bodies (Joint Working) (Integration Joint Boards) (Scotland) Order 2014 to clarify that the chief officer of an integration joint board is to be a member of that board following their appointment to the role of chief officer (as provided for in section 10(1) of the 2014 Act). Article 2 also makes amendments to clarify the terms of articles 3 and 5 of that Order.
