(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations further amend the National Health Service (Pharmaceutical Services) Regulations 1992 (S.I.1992/662) (“the principal Regulations”) and make consequential amendments to other secondary legislation.
Regulation 4 of these Regulations substitutes regulation 18 of the principal Regulations. This substitution is required because of the changes to the legislative basis upon which determinations relating to the remuneration for persons providing pharmaceutical services are made as a result of the coming into force of the National Health Service (Wales) Act 2006. The substituted regulation 18 contains provisions relating to the determination of remuneration for persons providing pharmaceutical services by the determining authorities.
Regulation 3 and regulations 5 to 11 make consequential amendments to the principal Regulations and to other relevant secondary legislation.
