NATIONAL HEALTH SERVICE, SCOTLAND

These Regulations further amend the National Health Service (Service Committee and Tribunal) (Scotland) Regulations 1992 (“the principal Regulations”). The definition of “practitioner” is expanded by regulation 2 to include members of all the health professions covered by the Regulations, and the expression “professional person” is now omitted. Regulations 3 and 5 to 7 implement the consequential amendments. These changes are to ensure that the principal Regulations apply equally to each of the professions and to remove a source of possible confusion.
