Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations make three changes as a result of errors in the National Health Service (Pharmaceutical Services) Regulations 2005. First, they provide for directed services to be taken into account where the Primary Care Trust is applying the necessary or desirable test when considering choice. Secondly, they provide for the Secretary of State to make a determination as to the remuneration to be paid to chemists in respect of the provision of directed services. Thirdly, they provide for pharmaceutical services to be provided at practice premises where the patient falls within regulation 60(1)(a).
