Scottish Government Health Directorates are a set of directorates of the Scottish Government. They are responsible for NHS Scotland, as well as policies on the development and implementation of health and community care. The Scottish Government Health Department (SEHD) was created in 1999 from the former Scottish Office Health Department (SOHD) (previously part of the Scottish Office Home and Health Department). The separate departments in the Scottish Government were abolished in 2007.
The Cabinet Secretary for Health and Wellbeing is Nicola Sturgeon MSP and she is assisted by the Minister for Public Health, Shona Robison MSP, and by the Minister for Communities and Sport, Stewart Maxwell MSP.[1]
