6.—(1) Where a registered patient who—
(a)has attained the age of 75 years; and
(b)has not participated in a consultation under this paragraph within the period of twelve months prior to the date of the patient’s request,
requests a consultation, the contractor shall, in addition and without prejudice to its other obligations in respect of that patient under the contract, provide such a consultation in the course of which it shall make such inquiries and undertake such examinations as appear to it to be appropriate in all the circumstances.
(2) A consultation under sub-paragraph (1) shall take place in the home of the patient where, in the reasonable opinion of the contractor, it would be inappropriate, as a result of the patient’s medical condition, for the patient to attend at the practice premises.
