82.—(1) This article applies to any case to which, on or before 31st March 2004, paragraph 1 of Schedule 1 (cases where preferential treatment on transferring to medical lists is given) to the Primary Care Act 1997(1) (“the Schedule”) applies.
(2) If —
(a)a medical practitioner had made an application to a Local Health Board, pursuant to paragraph 1 of the Schedule, for his or her name to be included in its medical list; and
(b)the matter had not been determined on or before 31st March 2004,
paragraph 7 of Schedule 1 (transitional and consequential provisions) to the Performers Lists Regulations shall apply.
(3) In a case where—
(a)paragraph (2) applies; and
(b)the Local Health Board determines to add that medical practitioner’s name to its medical performers list,
that medical practitioner shall be treated as though his or her name had been included in the medical list of that Local Health Board on 31st March 2004.
(4) In any case where representations under paragraph 3 of the Schedule have been made and the FHSAA (“the Authority”) has not determined that matter on or before 31st March 2004, the matter shall be treated by the Authority as though it were an appeal against the refusal of the Local Health Board to include that medical practitioner’s name in its medical performers list.
(5) If the Authority decides that appeal in favour of that medical practitioner—
(a)his or her name shall be included in that Local Health Board’s medical performers list; and
(b)he or she shall be treated as though his or her name had been included in the medical list of that Local Health Board on 31st March 2004.
(6) In a case to which paragraph (4) applies (“paragraph 4 case”), if that medical practitioner had applied to be included in the medical performers list of any Local Health Board or, by virtue of paragraph 7 of Schedule 1 to the Performers Lists Regulations, is treated as so applying, any appeal to the Authority in respect of that application shall be heard with the paragraph 4 case.
