Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations further amend the National Health Service (General Medical Services) (Scotland) Regulations 1995 (S.I.1995/416) (“the principal Regulations”).
These Regulations amend the principal Regulations to include reference, where appropriate, to primary care NHS Trusts to which responsibility for certain functions relating to the provision of services mentioned in Part II of the National Health Service (Scotland) Act 1978 (c. 29) are delegated by the Health Boards. They insert a new definition of “primary care NHS Trust” (regulation 2).
The principal Regulations are amended to make clear the action which doctors are required to take to establish a patient’s eligibility for exemption from or remission of charges when drugs or appliances are supplied (regulation 18). Schedule 11 to the principal Regulations is also amended so that the prescription of specified drugs for the treatment for erectile dysfunction is extended to certain categories of patient (regulation 24).
