EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations make amendments to the National Health Service (Pharmaceutical Services) Regulations 2005 (“the principal Regulations”).
Regulation 2 inserts a new regulation into the principal Regulations. The new regulation enables the Secretary of State to request information from pharmacists for the purpose of making determinations in respect of the remuneration to be paid to persons who provide pharmaceutical services.
Regulation 3 amends Schedule 1 to the principal Regulations in respect of the terms of service of pharmacists which are incorporated into the arrangements with the Primary Care Trust for the provision of pharmaceutical services. Paragraph 26 of Schedule 1 is amended to provide that an acceptable system of clinical governance comprises a requirement to produce a practice leaflet which contains approved particulars and is made available in a manner approved by the Secretary of State. Paragraph 28 of Schedule 1 is amended to provide that the requirement that a pharmacist or his staff shall not give, promise or offer an inducement to or in consideration of a person presenting a prescription applies also in respect of an electronic prescription or repeatable electronic prescription.
Regulation 4 amends paragraph 2 of Part 1 of Schedule 4 to the principal Regulations to provide that an application for inclusion in a pharmaceutical or other list from a corporate body cannot be considered unless the name and registration number of the superintendent is given.
