Section 38: Control of Entry Regulations
182.Section 42 of the 1977 Act requires regulations to be made about (amongst other things) the preparation and publication by Health Authorities of lists of people who have undertaken to provide Part 2 Pharmaceutical Services. Except as provided for in those regulations, applications by people wishing to join such a list (or to change the services or premises in respect of which they are already entered in the list) are granted only if the Health Authority is satisfied that it is necessary or desirable to do so in order to secure in the neighbourhood in question the provision of adequate pharmaceutical services by people on the list.
183.Section 38 provides that regulations under section 42 of the 1977 Act may include provision about the extent which services provided under Local Pharmaceutical Services pilot schemes are to be taken into account when determining such applications.
