(8)If the regulations provide under subsection (3)(c) or (e) that a [F12Primary Care Trust or] Health Authority may refuse a person’s application for inclusion in a supplementary list, or remove a person from one, the regulations must provide for an appeal (by way of redetermination) to the FHSAA against the [F13decision of the Primary Care Trust or of the Health Authority] .

(c)a list referred to in section 39(1)(a),
(d)a list referred to in section 42(2)(a), or
(e)a list referred to in section 43(2A),

(b)may, in particular, require that both A and B be included in lists prepared by [F17Primary Care Trusts] , or in lists prepared by [F18Health Authorities] .]]
