Reward schemeU.K.
97.—(1) An NHS chemist who is presented with or receives an order under paragraph 5(2) or (3) of Schedule 4, or paragraph 4(2) or (3) of Schedule 5, is eligible to claim a payment from the NHSCB, in accordance with the Drug Tariff, if—
(a)the NHS chemist has refused, in accordance with paragraph 9 of Schedule 4 or paragraph 8 of Schedule 5, to provide a drug or appliance and has informed the NHSCB of this action as soon as practicable; or
(b)has provided a drug or appliance pursuant to paragraph 5(2) or (3) of Schedule 4, or paragraph 4(2) or (3) of Schedule 5 but has reason to believe (whether or not this was the case at the time that the drug or appliance was dispensed) that the order was not a genuine order on NHS prescription and has informed the NHSCB of this belief as soon as is practicable,
and in either case has sent the order (or, in the case of an electronic prescription, details of it) to the NHSCB.
(2) Where the NHSCB establishes that an order about which it has been notified in accordance with paragraph (1) was not a genuine order, the NHSCB must make such payment as is due to the NHS chemist under the Drug Tariff.
(3) In this regulation, “order” includes a purported order.
