Community Health Partnership

Community Health Partnerships, known as CHPs (pronounced Chips) are subdivisions of Health Boards in Scotland.

CHPs typically represent a district or area within one of the 14 Scottish Health Board regions. However, this is not always strictly the case (see below).

The two Lanarkshire CHPs are co-terminous with the North and South Lanarkshire council boundaries and, as a result, incorporate some population from NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde as well as the NHS Lanarkshire catchment area. The North Lanarkshire CHP includes a population of approximately 16,500 from the Moodiesburn, Muirhead, Stepps and Chryston districts of NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde.

The South Lanarkshire CHP includes a population of approximately 55,000 from the Cambuslang and Rutherglen areas of NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde.

CHPs have 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
