These Regulations further amend the National Health Service (General Medical Services Contracts) Regulations 2015 (S.I. 2015/1862) (“the GMS Regulations”) and the National Health Service (Personal Medical Services Agreements) Regulations 2015 (S.I. 2015/1879) (“the PMS Regulations”), which respectively make provision in respect of services provided under a general medical services contract and a personal medical services agreement pursuant to Part 4 of the National Health Service Act 2006 (c. 41).
