These Regulations amend the National Health Service (Vocational Training for General Medical Practice) (Scotland) Regulations 1998 (S.I. 1998/5) (“the principal Regulations”), which prescribe the medical experience which a medical practitioner is required to have acquired before being included in a Health Board’s list of practitioners undertaking to provide general medical services.
These Regulations amend the principal Regulations to include reference, where appropriate, to primary care NHS trusts to which responsibility for certain functions mentioned in Part II of the National Health Service (Scotland) Act 1978 (c. 29) are delegated by Health Boards.
