OCPAS
- Office of the Commissioner for Public Appointments in Scotland
The Office of the Commissioner for Public Appointments in Scotland was set
up as a separate entity in June 2004 after legislation was passed through
the Scottish Parliament which included appointing an independent
Commissioner to oversee all public appointments in Scotland. The
Commissioner for Public Appointments in Scotland shares similar objectives
and procedures with the separate Commissioners for England and Wales and
for Northern Ireland. Karen Carlton offically took up post on 1 June 2004
after being selected through a Scottish Parliamentary process for
nomination by HMQ. For further details on OCPAS,
