EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Order specifies, in Article 2, the classes of herbal remedies in respect of which the exemptions from the restrictions imposed by sections 52 and 53 of the Medicines Act 1968 conferred by section 56(1) and (2) of that Act do not have effect. Section 52 provides that medicinal products not on a general sale list shall only be sold or supplied on premises which are a registered pharmacy and by or under the supervision of a pharmacist. Section 53 provides that medicinal products on a general sale list may only be sold or supplied elsewhere than at a registered pharmacy if the conditions specified in that section are fulfilled.
The Order also provides exemptions from the sections 52 and 53 restrictions for the classes of herbal remedies referred to above but subject to specified conditions, in particular that the person selling or supplying these herbal remedies has notified the enforcement authority that he is selling or supplying or intends to sell or supply them.
