Exemption for certain collection and delivery arrangements

2.—(1) The restrictions imposed by sections 52 and 53 of the Act shall not apply to the supply of any medicinal product for human use on premises which are not a registered pharmacy where such supply is in accordance with a prescription given by a doctor or dentist and forms part of a collection and delivery arrangement used by a person who lawfully conducts a retail pharmacy business.

(2) In this Article “collection and delivery arrangement” means any arrangement whereby a person is enabled to take or send a prescription given by a doctor or dentist to premises other than a registered pharmacy and to collect or have collected on his behalf from such premises a medicinal product prepared or dispensed in accordance with such prescription at a registered pharmacy by or under the supervision of a pharmacist if such premises at which the medicinal product is supplied are capable of being closed by the occupier so as to exclude the public.
