Smoking, Health and Social Care (Scotland) Act 2005

Section 24 – Assistance and support: primary medical services and pharmaceutical care services

110.This section inserts a new section 17Y into the 1978 Act, which makes new provision in relation to PCS and does this by replacing the existing section 17Q, which is an existing provision for Primary Medical Services (PMS). The existing PMS provision (replicated in new section 17Y) enables a Health Board to provide assistance and support (including financial assistance) to those providing, or proposing to provide, PMS. The new section 17Y extends the provision of assistance and support to PCS. The terms on which such assistance and support are given, including terms as to payment, are a matter for the Health Board.

111.Further provision relating to financial matters are made by amendments listed in Schedule 2 (paragraphs 2(17) and (18)).
