The legislative context for the development of Community Health Partnerships (CHPs) was set out in the Government White Papers Partnership for Care and Delivering for Health and strengthened in the NHS Reform (Scotland) Act 2004.

CHPs provide a focus for the integration between primary care and specialist services and with social care and ensure that local population health improvement is placed at the heart of service planning and delivery. The CHP: Involving People Advice notes published in December 2004 sets out the guidance for involving the public more in the overall development and design of health services through the formation of Public Partnership Forums (PPFs).
