(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations further amend the Medicines (Pharmacies) (Applications for Registration and Fees) Regulations 1973 (“the principal regulations”). They increase the fees for registration of premises at which a retail pharmacy business is or is to be carried on, the subsequent annual fees (retention fees) and the penalty (payable in circumstances specified in section 76(2) of the Medicines Act 1968) for failure to pay the retention fee.
These Regulations also revoke previous regulations which increased fees in the principal regulations and whose effect is now spent.
