Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations further amend the National Health Service (General Medical) Services (Scotland) Regulations 1995 (S.I. 1995/416) (“the 1995 Regulations”) which regulate the terms on which doctors provide general medical services under the National Health Service (Scotland) Act 1978.

Schedule 1 to the 1995 Regulations sets out the terms of service for doctors. Regulation 2 of these Regulations adds a new provision to the terms of service for doctors which requires doctors in certain circumstances to request evidence of a patient’s entitlement to remission of or exemption from prescription charges before supplying the prescribed item.

Schedule 11 to the 1995 Regulations lists drugs to be supplied by general medical practitioners or prescribed for supply under pharmaceutical services only in certain circumstances. Regulation 3 of these Regulations amends the list in Schedule 11, so as to include certain drugs used for the treatment of erectile dysfunction.

These Regulations impose no cost on business.
