Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations restrict the sale of goodwill by certain primary medical services performers or providers in all circumstances (regulation 3). They also, in effect, prohibit certain forms of sub-contracting of clinical services by general medical services and personal medical services contractors (regulations 4 and 5). Regulation 6 is a transitional provision, importing the new contract terms into general medical services contracts and personal medical services agreements which have not yet been varied to take account of them – and it also imports the new terms into default contracts (which are transitional arrangements for primary medical services providers who are entitled to enter into general medical services contracts). Regulation 7 and the Schedule set out the form of a certificate issued under paragraph 1(3) of Schedule 10 to the National Health Service Act 1977 relating to the possible sale of goodwill.
