(This note is not part of the Regulations)
The National Health Service (Primary Medical Services Performers Lists) (Scotland) Regulations 2004 provide for each Health Board to maintain a primary medical services performers list for its area, sets out the criteria a person must meet in order for their name to be included on a performers list and the process which the Health Board must follow in considering applications. Section 4 and schedule 3 of the Coronavirus Act 2020 made temporary modifications to these criteria and to the process for considering applications to the primary medical services performers lists. These modifications included inserting regulation 7B(4) which set out an additional reason an application may be deferred by the Health Board. The modifications expire at the end of the day on 24 March 2022. These Regulations make transitional provision in relation to the end of deferrals under regulation 7B(4).
