Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations further amend the Misuse of Drugs Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2002 (“the 2002 Regulations”). Regulations 3 to 8 amend regulations 2, 6B and 7 to 10 of the 2002 Regulations to replace references to “extended formulary nurse prescribers” with references to “nurse independent prescribers”. The effect is that nurse independent prescribers will be allowed to prescribe, supply, possess, administer and give directions for the administration of specified controlled drugs in those circumstances, in which extended formulary nurse prescribers were previously able to.
Regulations 4(c) to (e) and 7(b) amend regulations 6B and 9 of the 2002 Regulations to allow nurse independent prescribers to prescribe and supply diazepam, lorazepam and midazolam for the treatment of tonic-clonic seizures.
A full regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for these regulations as is has no impact on the costs of business.
