(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order makes further amendments to certain Orders relating to the prescribing, sale and supply of medicines.
Articles 2 and 3 amend the Prescription Only Medicines (Human Use) Order 1997 (“the POM Order”) which specifies the description and classes of medicines (“prescription only medicines”) which may be sold or supplied only in accordance with the prescription of an “appropriate practitioner”, and may be administered only in accordance with the directions of such a practitioner. Article 2 amends Schedule 3A to the POM order to make additions to the list of medicines which may be prescribed by extended formulary nurse prescribers.
Article 3 amends Part I of Schedule 5 to the POM Order (exemption from restrictions on sale or supply of prescription only medicines) to make an addition to the list of substances which may be sold or supplied by a registered pharmacist to an “additional supply optometrist”, and may be sold or supplied by an additional supply optometrist in the course of that person’s professional practice in an emergency.
Article 4 amends the Medicines (Pharmacy and General Sale—Exemption) Order 1980 which provides for exemptions from sections 52 and 53 of the Medicines Act 1968 (restrictions on the sale or supply of medicinal products). Article 4 amends Part I of Schedule 1 to the Order to make an addition to the list of substances which may be sold or supplied by an additional supply optometrist in the course of that person’s professional practice in an emergency.
A full regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as it has no impact on the costs of business.
