(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the National Health Service (General Medical Services Contracts) (Prescription of Drugs Etc.) (Wales) Regulations 2004 (“the principal Regulations”) which make provision as to the drugs, medicines or other substances that may be ordered for patients in the provision of medical services under a general medical services contract within the meaning of section 42 of the National Health Service (Wales) Act 2006.
Regulation 2 amends Schedule 2 to the principal Regulations (drugs or medicines to be ordered only in certain circumstances) to add further circumstances in which certain drugs may be ordered under such a contract. The drugs in question are Oseltamir (Tamiflu), Alprostadil (Caverject), (MUSE), (Viridal), Apomorphine Hydrochloride (Uprima), Moxisylyte Hydrochloride (Erecnos), Sildenafil (Viagra), Tadalafil (Cialis), Thymoxamine Hydrochloride (Erecnos), Vardenafil (Levitra), and the drug Zanamivir (Relenza).
The Welsh Ministers' Code of Practice on the carrying out of Regulatory Impact Assessments was considered in relation to these Regulations. As a result, it was not considered necessary to carry out a regulatory impact assessment as to the likely costs and benefits of complying with these Regulations.
