There are currently no known outstanding effects for the The National Health Service (General Medical Services Contracts) Regulations 2015, Paragraph 74.
74.—(1) Where [F1NHS England] is entitled to give notice in writing to the contractor terminating the contract under paragraphs 66, 67, 68, 70(4) or (6) or 71, [F1NHS England] must, in the notice given to the contractor under those provisions, specify a date on which the contract terminates that is at least 28 days after the date on which [F1NHS England] gives notice to the contractor, unless sub-paragraph (2) applies.
(2) This sub-paragraph applies if [F1NHS England] is satisfied that a period of less than 28 days is necessary in order to protect—
(a)the safety of the contractor's patients; or
(b)itself from material financial loss.
(3) Where—
(a)sub-paragraph (1) applies, but the exceptions in sub-paragraph (2) do not apply; and
(b)the contractor invokes the NHS dispute resolution procedure before the end of the notice period referred to in sub-paragraph (1) and gives notice in writing to [F1NHS England] that it has done so,
the contract does not terminate at the end of the notice period but instead only terminates in the circumstances described in sub-paragraph (4).
(4) The circumstances described in this sub-paragraph for the termination of the contract are if and when—
(a)there has been a final determination of the dispute under the NHS dispute resolution procedure (or by a court) and that determination permits [F1NHS England] to terminate the contract; or
(b)the contractor ceases to pursue the NHS dispute resolution procedure,
whichever is the earlier.
(5) If [F1NHS England] is satisfied that it is necessary to terminate the contract before the NHS dispute resolution procedure is (or any court proceedings are) concluded in order to protect—
(a)the safety of the contractor's patients; or
(b)itself from material financial loss,
sub-paragraphs (3) and (4) do not apply and [F1NHS England] may confirm, by giving notice in writing to the contractor, that the contract will nevertheless terminate at the end of the period of the notice given under paragraphs 66, 67, 68, 70(4) or (6) or 71.
