These Regulations consolidate, with a number of minor or consequential drafting amendments, the provisions of the National Health Service (General Dental Services) (Scotland) Regulations 1974 (“the 1974 Regulations”). The 1974 Regulations and all subsequent amendments, excepting provisions relating to the Scottish Dental Practice Board, are revoked by regulation 38 and Schedule 8. These Regulations therefore regulate the terms on which general dental services are provided under the National Health Service (Scotland) Act 1978.
