The information isnot available on an annual basis.
The previous ScottishExecutive last published annual information on regulated public appointments inFebruary 2003. The Annual Report on Appointments to Non-Departmental Public Bodiesin Scotland listed all appointees on the boards of regulated public bodies asat 1 December 2002. A copy of this report is available from the Scottish ParliamentInformation Centre (Bib. number 26734).

The website is updatedas appointments are made or come to an end. It provides details of all current regulatedappointments.
Information aboutnon-regulated appointments is not held centrally.
