Patients aged 75 and over
10.—(1) Where a registered patient who requests a consultation—
(a)has attained the age of 75 years; and
(b)has not participated in a consultation within the 12 month period prior to the date of the request,
the contractor must provide such a consultation during which it must make such inquiries and undertake such examinations as it considers appropriate in all the circumstances.
(2) A consultation under sub-paragraph (1) must take place in the home of the patient where, in the reasonable opinion of the contractor, it would be inappropriate, as a result of the patient’s medical condition, for the patient to attend at the practice premises.
(3) This paragraph does not affect the contractor’s other obligations under the contract in respect of the patient.
