Section 27: Pharmaceutical lists: minor amendment

303.Section 27 corrects an apparent anomaly in section 129(6)(d) of the NHS Act. Section 129(6)(c) refers to a particular kind of application for inclusion in a pharmaceutical list and was not intended to affect the meaning of “such an application” in section 129(6)(d). The amendment makes clear that the provision in section 129(6)(d) for the inclusion of an applicant on a PCT’s list for a fixed period may apply to any application made under section 129.
