Community Health Partnership

Community Health Partnerships, known as CHPs (pronounced Chips) were subdivisions of Health Boards in Scotland, from 2005 to 2015, after which their functions were fully taken over by Health and Social Care Partnerships in April 2015.

CHPs had four roles within their locality:

• To deliver primary care services, including community mental health and sexual health services
• To work with social services to provide social care
• To promote health improvement
• To influence strategic planning, including the primary-secondary care interface
