Health Protection Scotland

Health Protection Scotland (HPS) was the organisation that co-ordinated health protection in Scotland until subsumed into Public Health Scotland.

HPS took over the functions of the Scottish Centre for Infection and Environmental Health (SCIEH) in November 2004. Other functions from National Services Scotland were also added.

HPS was succeeded by Public Health Scotland in April 2020. This new agency is a collaborative approach by both the Scottish Government and COSLA based on the Public Health Reform Programme.
