Part 1 of this Order brings into force on 1st April 2010 provisions of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (“the Act”) relating to funding of expenditure on community pharmaceutical services provided as part of the National Health Service in England. The principal changes are: firstly, that funding for community pharmaceutical services that previously had been held centrally will become part of the allocations given to Primary Care Trusts; and secondly, the Secretary of State is given powers to designate any element of the remuneration paid by Primary Care Trusts for community pharmaceutical services which is not referable to the cost of drugs. Designation is a mechanism which allows the Secretary of State to control the way the funding of a designated element is apportioned between Primary Care Trusts.
