Limitation on number of persons on doctors' lists

23.—(1) This regulation applies as to the aggregate maximum number (“the maximum number”) of persons a doctor may have on his list in all areas in which he provides general medical services in addition to any persons whom he has accepted for inclusion in his list for the provision of contraceptive services only.

(2) Except as otherwise provided in this regulation, and in regulation 24(16), the maximum number shall be—

(a) 3,500 for a doctor carrying on practice otherwise than as an assistant or in a partnership;

(b) 4,500 for a doctor carrying on practice in partnership, subject to a maximum average of 3,500 for each of the partners in the practice,

and, where the doctor employs an assistant, such further number not exceeding 2,000 for each assistant as the Agency or, on appeal, the Department, may decide having regard to the circumstances of the practice and the amount of time given to it by any assistant.

(3) For the purposes of determining the maximum number of persons on a doctor’s list, the number of persons allocated to an assistant shall be regarded as being on the list of the doctor by whom he is employed.

(4) For the purposes of paragraph (2), a doctor who is in partnership shall be deemed to be an assistant, and not a partner, unless the Board or, on appeal, the Department is satisfied that—

(a) he discharges the duties and exercises the powers of a partner in connection with the practice of the partnership; and

(b) either—

(i) in the case of a full-time doctor, he is entitled to a share of the profits which is not less than one third of the share of the partner with the greatest share; or

(ii) in the case of a three-quarter-time doctor, he is entitled to a share of the profits which is not less than one quarter of the share of the partner with the greatest share; or

(iii) in the case of a half-time doctor, he is entitled to a share of the profits which is not less than one fifth of the share of the partner with the greatest share; or

(iv) in the case of a job-sharing doctor who practises in partnership with another job-sharing doctor and at least one other doctor, he is entitled to a share of the profits which, when added to the share of the other job-sharing doctor with whose hours his hours are being aggregated for the purposes of regulation 13, is not less than one third of the share of the member of the partnership with the greatest share.

(5) The Agency shall notify each doctor of the number of patients on his list as at the first day of each quarter and of the number of any excess over the maximum number.

(6) A doctor shall, within 2 months from the date on which the excess was notified to him in accordance with paragraph (5), take steps to reduce the number of persons on his list to the maximum number by—

(a) taking a partner;

(b) engaging an assistant; or

(c) notifying the Agency of the names of the necessary number of patients on his list whom he wishes to have removed from his list under paragraph 9 or 11 of the terms of service,

and if, at the end of that time, the measures mentioned in this paragraph have not resulted in the reduction of the number of persons to the maximum number, the Agency shall remove from his list the necessary number of patients, the selection of such patients being at the discretion of the Agency.

(7) Where—

(a) a doctor gives notice under paragraph (6)(c); or

(b) a doctor whose name is included in the medical list in respect of more than one address and who ceases to practise at any one of them, informs the Agency of his wish to have removed from his list the patients who would have attended for treatment at the address at which he has ceased to practise,

the Agency shall, subject to paragraph (8), send a notice to each person to whom sub-paragraph (6)(c) applies or sub-paragraph (b) relates to inform him that he should apply to another doctor for acceptance for inclusion in his list.

(8) The Agency, after consulting the relevant Local Medical Committee, may permit the doctor who wishes to have the patient removed from his list under paragraph (6)(c) or (7)(b), to name another doctor who—

(a) is willing to accept the person for inclusion in his list; and

(b) has given his written consent in circumstances where such acceptance will not result in the number of patients on that other doctor’s list exceeding the maximum number,

the Agency shall notify that person accordingly and the name of any such person shall be included in the list of the doctor named in the notice until such time as the person has chosen another doctor or has informed the Agency in writing that he wishes not to be so included.

(9) Where the number of patients on a doctor’s list exceeds the maximum number and is due to—

(a) the creation of a partnership of which the doctor is a member; or

(b) the death or retirement of a partner or the cessation of employment of an assistant in circumstances where the doctor is actively seeking a new partner or assistant,

the Agency may, on the doctor’s undertaking not to accept for inclusion in his list further patients other than the children of existing patients, permit him to retain, for such period not exceeding 9 months as it may determine from the date of the event which resulted in the number of patients exceeding the maximum number, all the patients on his list (and, in a case falling within sub-paragraph (b), on the list, if any, of his former partner) at that date.

(10) The Agency may, with the consent of the Department, extend any period mentioned in paragraph (9).

(11) The Agency may, in special circumstances, subject to consent of the Department and any conditions it may impose, permit a doctor to have on his list such number of persons in excess of the maximum number as it thinks fit.

(12) In carrying out its function under this regulation, the Agency shall consult as necessary with the relevant Board.

(13) Nothing in this regulation shall—

(a) restrict a doctor from accepting for inclusion in his list persons who apply to him as temporary residents; or

(15) The Department shall, on receipt of any notice of appeal under this regulation, send a copy of that notice to the Agency.

(16) The Agency may, within 30 days from the date on which the Department sent a copy of the notice of appeal, submit representations in writing to the Department on the appeal.

(17) On any appeal pursuant to paragraph (2) or (4), the Department may hold an oral hearing and, in such a case, shall, not less than 14 days before the date fixed for the hearing, give notice in writing to the appellant and to the Agency.

(18) The Department shall, upon determination by it of an appeal under this regulation, give notice of its decision in writing, together with the reasons for it, to the appellant and to the Agency.

(3) The Board may make such arrangements as it thinks fit (including arrangements in relation to accommodation) to enable any doctor appointed in accordance with paragraph (2) to undertake the treatment of the deceased doctor’s patients and, in the case of any doctor appointed under paragraph (2)(b), shall, where practicable, first consult the person who applied to it for the appointment of that doctor.

(4) Subject to paragraphs (10), (16) and (17), arrangements under paragraph (2) shall subsist for such period as the Board may determine but not beyond the date on which the vacancy is filled or the suspension referred to in that paragraph ceases to have effect.

(5) Where it appears to a Board, after consultation with the Local Medical Committee, that a doctor is incapable of carrying out his obligations under the terms of service because of his physical or mental condition, it may require him to be medically examined.

(6) Where a Board is satisfied—

(a) after receiving from the Local Medical Committee a report of a medical examination under paragraph (9) that, because of his physical or mental condition; or

(b) that because of his continued absence,

a doctor’s obligations under the terms of service are not being carried out adequately, it may, after consultation with the Local Medical Committee and with the consent of the Department, make arrangements for the temporary provision of general medical services for that doctor’s patients which may consist of or include the appointment of one or more doctors to undertake the treatment of such persons, and may vary such arrangements as necessary.

(7) A doctor shall not be appointed under paragraph (2) or (6) unless he is suitably experienced (other than by virtue of being a restricted services principal) within the meaning of Article 8 of the Health and Personal Social Services (Northern Ireland) Order 1978(23).

(8) Subject to paragraph (11), arrangements under paragraph (6) shall subsist for such period as the Board may determine but not, in a case to which paragraph (6)(a) applies, beyond the date on which the Board is satisfied, after consulting the Local Medical Committee, that the doctor is fit to resume his practice.

(a) for longer than one year;

(b) for such shorter period as the Department may specify in any particular case; or

(c) beyond any period specified in sub-paragraph (a) or (b),

(14) A doctor appointed under this regulation shall agree in writing to be bound throughout his appointment by the terms of service which were applicable to the doctor, the treatment of whose patients he is appointed (with or without the other doctors) to undertake, except that nothing in this regulation shall require him to provide child health surveillance services, contraceptive services, maternity medical services or minor surgery services which he has not undertaken to provide.

(15) Where paragraph (16) does not apply, any person on the list of the doctor for the treatment of whose patients arrangements are made under this regulation shall be deemed to remain on that list while those arrangements subsist, unless that person is transferred to the list of another doctor, and any person who applies to the doctor appointed under this regulation for acceptance for inclusion in his list shall, if so accepted, be recorded by the Agency as being—

(a) where that doctor’s name is included in the medical list by virtue of regulation 4(1)(a), on his list; and

(16) In the case of a doctor who has been suspended by direction of the Tribunal—

(b) to the extent necessary to accommodate any additional patients temporarily assigned under sub-paragraph (a), the limitation contained in regulation 23 on the number of persons who may be on a doctor’s list shall not apply for the duration of those arrangements.

(17) Where arrangements such as are referred to in paragraph (16) are in operation when a suspension by direction of the Tribunal ceases to have effect—

(a) in the case where the suspended doctor’s name continues to be included in the medical list, the Agency shall reassign to him all those patients temporarily assigned under paragraph (16) who are still on the list of the doctor to whom they were so assigned; and

(b) in the case where his name ceases to be included in the medical list, the arrangements referred to in paragraph (16) shall cease to have effect (without prejudice to any new arrangements which may be made under this regulation).

(i) for the treatment of whose patients arrangements are made under paragraph (6); or

(ii) consequent upon whose suspension by direction of the Tribunal arrangements are made for the temporary provision of general medical services for that doctor’s patients,

the cost, in whole or in part, of any such arrangements; and

(b) in the case of a doctor performing relevant service, shall deduct from his remuneration the cost of any such arrangements.

(19) In the application of the Order to the making of arrangements for the temporary provision of general medical services and the provision of such services in pursuance of those arrangements—

(a) Article 57(1) (which prohibits, with exceptions, payment of a fixed salary) shall have effect as if the words “otherwise than temporarily” were inserted after the words “general medical services”; and

(b) Article 56(2A)(24) (which contains requirements as to knowledge of English) shall apply to a doctor appointed under this regulation and, in respect of any such doctor, Article 56(2A) shall have effect as if for the words from “shall” to “paragraph (2)(a)” there were substituted the words “shall be appointed to provide general medical services temporarily”.

(b) that he has not returned to the area of former residence,

it shall remove him from the doctor’s list of patients in the area of his former residence and, if practicable, inform him of that fact and of his entitlement to seek acceptance for inclusion in the list of any doctor, including the doctor by whom he has been treated as a temporary resident, in the area in which he is living.

(b) record in the patient’s medical records the date of each such invitation and whether or not it was accepted; and

(6) An application pursuant to sub-paragraph (5) shall be made in writing and shall be accompanied by a statement of the doctor’s proposals, by reference to particular classes of patient, with a view to securing that all eligible patients are invited to participate in a consultation mentioned in sub-paragraph (1) by the end of the period of the deferment.

Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Regulations.)

These Regulations consolidate, with amendments, those provisions of the General Medical and Pharmaceutical Services Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1973 (the 1973 Regulations) which relate to general medical services. The provisions of the 1973 Regulations which relate to pharmaceutical services are consolidated, with amendments, in the General Pharmaceutical Services Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1997. These Regulations therefore regulate the terms on which general medical services are provided under the Health and Personal Social Services (Northern Ireland) Order 1972.

The principal changes effected by the Regulations are the following.

The Regulations include criteria which doctors must meet for inclusion in, and retention on, the child health surveillance list and the minor surgery list (Regulations 26 and 35 and Parts VII and IX of Schedule 3).

The Regulations also contain revised procedures to be used in determining whether or not a substance supplied or ordered by a doctor for provision by a chemist is a drug the provision of which forms part of pharmaceutical services (regulation 40).

The Regulations are amended to provide that a doctor shall inform the Health and Social Services Board of the name of any doctor who has responsibility for his practice during any period of absence of more than 14 days (paragraph 25(2) of Schedule 2).
