(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the National Health Service (Pharmaceutical Services) Regulations 1992, which govern the arrangements to be made by Family Health Services Authorities for the provision in their locality of pharmaceutical services under the National Health Service Act 1977.
The principal change effected by these Regulations is to enable chemists who wish to do so to undertake to provide additional professional services (for which they would receive extra remuneration) consisting of publishing a practice leaflet and displaying health promotion material (regulation 2)(3)). The Regulations also make consequential and other minor amendments.
