Removal from the medical list of names of doctors not providing services

Limitation of number of persons in doctors' lists

21.—(1) Subject to paragraph (2), the maximum number of persons a doctor may have on his list in all areas in which he provides general medical services (in addition to any persons for whom he has accepted responsibility following the granting by the Board of relief to another doctor under paragraph 18 of the terms of service) shall be—

(a)3,500 for a doctor carrying on practice otherwise than in partnership;

(b)4,500 for a doctor carrying on practice in partnership subject to an average of 3,500 for each of the partners in the practice.

(5) A doctor who is dissatisfied with the decision of the Board respecting the extent to which the number of persons on his list may be increased by reason of the employment by him of an assistant may appeal against that decision to the Medical Practices Committee by sending to that Committee notice of appeal within 30 days or such longer period as that Committee may allow from the date on which the Board intimates its decision to him, and that Committee, after such inquiry as it may think necessary, shall determine the appeal.

(6) In any appeal under paragraph (5) the Medical Practices Committee shall admit to any hearing of such appeal such persons not exceeding two in number as may be appointed for the purpose by an organisation recognised by the Secretary of State as representative of the medical profession, and shall allow such persons to address the Committee before deciding on the appeal.

(7) Where the Board finds the number of patients on the doctor’s list to be in excess of the maximum number allowed in accordance with this regulation it shall notify the doctor who shall, within 60 days from the date on which the excess is notified to him, take steps to reduce his list to the maximum number allowed by—

(a)entering into partnership; or

(b)employing an assistant; or

(c)giving notice to the Board of the names of the necessary number of patients whom he wishes to have removed from his list under paragraph 9 of the terms of service.

(8) If at the end of the said period of 60 days the steps taken by the doctor have not resulted in the number of persons on his list being within the maximum number allowed, the Board shall remove from his list the necessary number of names.

Change of doctor

22.—(1) Subject to the requirements of paragraph (2), a person may apply in accordance with regulation 19(1) to any doctor, other than the doctor in whose list he is included, who provides general medical services, for acceptance in that other doctor’s list of patients.

(4) Where one or more doctors have been selected under the provisions of regulation 11 or 12 to succeed to a practice, and the names of any such practitioners are included in the medical list, the Board shall send to the persons on the list of the doctor who last carried on that practice other than to those women who had been accepted by him for the provision of contraceptive services only, a statement of the name and address of the successor in whose list it is considered that the persons in question or any section of them may wish to be included together with an intimation that such a successor is willing to accept the persons concerned for treatment and that they will be deemed to be included in his list as from the date given in the notice unless within 14 days of the said date they have applied to and have been accepted by other doctors, or have given notice in writing to the Board of their desire not to be so included.

(5) Where a woman who has been deemed to be included in the list of a successor in accordance with paragraph (4) has also been accepted by the doctor who last carried on the practice for the provision to her of contraceptive services under regulation 30, and that successor is willing to accept the woman concerned for the provision to her of contraceptive services to at least the same extent as the doctor who last carried on the practice, then she will be deemed from the date given in the notice sent to her under paragraph (4) to be accepted by that successor for the provision of contraceptive services to the like extent to which, and for the remainder of the period for which, she had previously been accepted.

(6) Where no successor is to be appointed to a practice, the Board shall give to the persons on the list of the doctor who last carried on that practice, other than to those women who had been accepted by him for the provision of contraceptive services only, notice of their right to apply to another doctor on the medical list for acceptance.

(8) A doctor who has performed a period of relevant service in an emergency recognised by the Secretary of State for the purpose of these regulations and has returned to his practice at the end of such service, shall within 30 days of his return notify the Board in writing that he has personally resumed practice. Where the Board has been so notified, it shall within 30 days send a notice to every person whose name was on the doctor’s list at the date of the beginning of such service who is still residing at the same address at which he was residing at such date and who has transferred to the list of another doctor. The Board’s notice shall state that the former doctor has resumed practice and that the person’s name will be restored to his list unless within 14 days after the date of the notice that person gives notice in writing to the Board that he wishes his name to remain on the list of his present doctor. After the said period of 14 days has elapsed, the Board shall inform the doctors concerned of the names of the persons who are restored to the list of the doctor who has resumed practice and shall also inform the other doctor only of the names of the persons who have elected to remain on his list.

(9) Nothing in this regulation shall require the Board to give any notice of or concerning the making, variation or termination of arrangements under regulation 24.

23.  Where a doctor has given notice to the Board in accordance with paragraph 9 of his terms of service that a person is to be removed from his list, the Board shall forthwith inform that person that he should apply to another doctor for acceptance, or apply to the Board for assignment to a doctor.

Temporary provision of general medical services

24.—(1) The provisions of this regulation shall apply in relation to the making of arrangements for the temporary provision of general medical services.

(a)make and as necessary or desirable vary from time to time arrangements for the temporary provision of general medical services for the patients for whose treatment that doctor was or might have become responsible which arrangements may consist of or include the appointment under this paragraph of one or more doctors to undertake the provision of such services;

(b)where a doctor included in the medical list by virtue of regulation 4(1)(a) ceases because of his death to be entitled to be so included, and within 7 days of the date of death any person applies to the Board in writing on behalf of the estate of that doctor for the appointment of one or more named doctors, appoint one or more of the named doctors to undertake the provision of general medical services for the patients for whose treatment that doctor was or might have become responsible.

(4) Arrangements under paragraph (2) shall subsist for such period as the Board thinks fit, but such period shall not extend beyond one year unless the Board is at the expiry of that year satisfied that the continuation of the said arrangements with or without variations is necessary to enable general medical services to continue to be provided; and in any event the said arrangements shall not subsist beyond the date on which the relevant practice vacancy is permanently filled or the suspension referred to in paragraph (2) ceases to have effect; but the Board shall so far as possible give prior written notice of the termination of the said arrangements to the doctor with whom those arrangements were made.

(5) Subject to paragraph (4), where arrangements under paragraph (2) with or without variations are to continue for a period beyond one year, the Board shall at the expiry of that year notify the Secretary of State in writing of such continuation, and subsequently of the termination of such arrangements as soon as is practicable.

(6) Where it appears to the Board, after consultation with the Area Medical Committee, that a doctor on the medical list is incapable of carrying out adequately his obligations under the terms of service because of his physical or mental condition, it may require him to be medically examined.

(7) Where the Board is satisfied—

(a)that because of his physical or mental condition, or

(b)that because of continued absence

a doctor’s obligations under the terms of service are not being carried out adequately, it may after consultation with the Area Medical Committee and with the consent of the Secretary of State make arrangements for the temporary provision of general medical services for the patients for whose treatment that doctor was or might have become responsible, which arrangements may consist of or include the appointment under this paragraph of one or more doctors to undertake the provision of such services.

(8) No doctor may be appointed under paragraph (2) or (7) unless he is suitably experienced (other than by virtue of being a restricted services principal) within the meaning of section 21 of the Act.

(9) Subject to paragraph (12), arrangements under paragraph (7) shall subsist for such period as the Board thinks fit, but not, in a case to which paragraph (7)(a) applies, beyond the date on which the Board is satisfied, after consulting the Area Medical Committee, that the doctor is fit to resume his practice.

(10) The Board may, before varying or terminating any arrangements made under paragraph (7) and after consulting the Area Medical Committee, require the doctor to be medically examined.

(14) The Board shall, where practicable, notify in writing any doctor with respect to whose patients arrangements are made under this regulation of such arrangements and of their variation or termination.

(15) Each doctor appointed under this regulation shall throughout his appointment be bound by the terms of service which were applicable to the doctor, the treatment of all of whose patients he is appointed with or without other doctors to undertake; but such appointment shall not oblige the doctor so appointed to provide child health surveillance services, contraceptive services, maternity medical services or minor surgery services which he has not undertaken to provide.

(16) Where the doctor for the treatment of whose patients arrangements are made under this regulation has accepted patients for the provision of maternity medical services and the doctor or doctors appointed under this regulation have not undertaken to provide such services, the Board shall so inform the patients accepted for these services and inform them of any arrangements to enable them to continue to receive such services.

(17) Any patient of a doctor in respect of whose patients the Board has made arrangements for the temporary provision of general medical services under this regulation shall be deemed to remain on the list of that doctor for the duration of such arrangements unless he makes application for acceptance by another doctor or is otherwise removed from the list in accordance with these Regulations.

(18) Any application for acceptance and inclusion on a doctor’s list received by a doctor appointed under this regulation in the course of such appointment shall be deemed to be an application for acceptance and inclusion in the list of the doctor in respect of whose patients the appointment was made.

(19) The Board may deduct from the remuneration of a doctor in respect of whose patients arrangements are made under paragraph (7) or consequent upon the suspension of whose registration arrangements are made under paragraph (2)(a) the cost, in part or in whole, of any such arrangements, and in the case of a doctor performing relevant services in an emergency recognised by the Secretary of State for the purpose of these Regulations, the Board shall deduct from his remuneration the cost of arrangements under this regulation.

(20) In its application to the temporary provision of general medical services, sub-section (3) of section 19 of the Act shall have effect as if the words “otherwise than temporarily” were inserted after the words “general medical services” in that sub-section.

(21) In its application to a doctor appointed under this regulation, section 20(1A) of the Act(16) shall have effect as if—

(a)the words “shall be entitled to have his application for the inclusion of his name in the list kept by any Health Board referred to the Medical Practices Committee” were omitted and the words “shall be appointed to provide general medical services temporarily” were inserted in their place; and

(b)the words from “and where a Board” to the end were omitted.

(22) Sections 20(1) and 21 of the Act shall not apply in respect of the temporary provision of general medical services by a doctor appointed under this regulation.

(5) If a doctor is requested to provide treatment, and is available, he shall provide treatment immediately required, by reason of accident or other emergency, by a person who is not on the list of and who has not been accepted as a temporary resident by or assigned to, any doctor practising in the locality, or who is on the list of or has been accepted as a temporary resident by or assigned to, such a doctor, but neither the said doctor nor any deputy whom he may have appointed is available.

(6) Notwithstanding anything contained in this paragraph, a doctor shall not be responsible under these terms of service for the treatment in hospital of a person admitted thereto for treatment by the staff of the hospital.

5.  A doctor who is elderly or infirm or who has been exempted by the Board under regulation 20(2) from the liability to have persons assigned to him may be relieved by the Board of any liability for emergency calls arising between 7 pm on weekdays and 8 am on the following morning and between 1 pm on Saturday and 8 am on the following Monday to persons who—

(a)are not on his list, or

(b)are not temporary residents for whom he is responsible, or

(c)have not been accepted by him for the provision of maternity medical services.

Acceptance of patients

6.—(1) A doctor may agree to accept a person on his list if the person is eligible to be accepted by him.

(2) A doctor shall indicate his acceptance of an applicant by signing either his medical card or a form of application for acceptance which has been completed by the applicant or on his behalf, and sending the card or form to the Board within 14 days of receiving it. Where any person is authorised by the doctor to sign the card or form on behalf of that doctor, he shall say so accordingly and in addition to his own signature, add the doctor’s name.

7.  A doctor may—

(a)undertake to provide contraceptive services to a woman who has applied to him in accordance with regulation 30;

(b)accept as a temporary resident a person who has applied to him in accordance with regulation 26(1);

(c)undertake to provide maternity medical services to a woman who has made an arrangement with him in accordance with regulation 31(1).

(a)take a cervical smear from a woman who would be eligible for acceptance by him as a temporary resident or for whom he has undertaken to provide maternity medical services or contraceptive services;

(b)vaccinate or immunise a person who would be eligible for acceptance by him as a temporary resident.

Right of a doctor to have patient removed from his list

9.—(1) Subject to sub-paragraphs (2) to (5), a doctor may have the name of any person removed from his list by giving notice to the Board and the removal shall take effect on the date of acceptance of that person by, or assignment to, another doctor or on the eighth day after the Board receives such notice, whichever first occurs. If the doctor at the date when removal would take effect is providing treatment to the person (otherwise than at intervals of more than 7 days because of the chronic nature of the person’s illness), the doctor shall notify the Board accordingly, and removal shall take place on the eighth day after the Board receives notice from him that the person no longer requires such treatment or upon acceptance by, or assignment to, another doctor, whichever first occurs.

(2) Where—

(a)a person on a doctor’s list has committed an act of violence against the doctor or has behaved in such a way that the doctor has feared for his safety; and

(b)the doctor has reported the incident to the police or the Procurator Fiscal

the doctor may notify the Board that he wishes to have that person removed from his list with immediate effect.

(3) Notification under sub-paragraph (2) may be given by any means including telephone or fax, but if not given in writing shall subsequently be confirmed in writing within 7 days (and for this purpose a faxed notification is not a written one).

(4) The time at which the doctor notifies the Board shall be the time at which he makes the telephone call or sends or delivers the notification to the Board.

(5) Where pursuant to this paragraph a doctor has notified the Board that he wishes to have a person’s name removed from his list with immediate effect, he shall take all reasonable steps to inform the person concerned.

Evidence of person’s title to obtain treatment

10.—(1) A doctor is entitled to require a person claiming to be on his list and applying for treatment, regarding whose identity he has reasonable doubts, to produce his medical card.

(2) If such a person fails on request to produce his medical card, the doctor is required to give any necessary treatment (including the supply of any drugs or appliances which he would be required to supply to a person on his list) but the doctor may charge the applicant a reasonable fee for any treatment given, including any drugs or appliances supplied, provided that he renders the applicant an account, or gives him a receipt for the fee. The doctor may order any drugs or appliance required for the treatment of the applicant in the same way as for a person on his list.

(3) If the applicant applies to the Board within 14 days after receiving the account or paying the fee, as the case may be (or within such longer period not exceeding 30 days as may be allowed by the Board if it is satisfied that the failure to make application within the period of 14 days was occasioned by some reasonable cause) and the Board is satisfied that he was on the doctor’s list, the Board may require the doctor to withdraw his account, or if the fee has been paid, may recover the fee from the doctor by deduction from his remuneration or otherwise and repay it to the applicant. If the doctor has supplied any drug or appliance for which, in the case of a person on his list, he would have been entitled to payment from the Board, the Board shall credit him with the payment to which he would have been so entitled.

Services to patients

11.—(1) Subject to paragraphs 3, 13 and 31 a doctor shall render to his patients all necessary and appropriate personal medical services of the type usually provided by general medical practitioners.

(2) The services which a doctor is required by sub-paragraph (1) to render shall include the following:—

(a)the administration of anaesthetics or the rendering of any other assistance at an operation performed by, and of the kind usually performed by, a general medical practitioner;

(b)where appropriate giving advice personally to patients, either individually or in groups, relating to their general health, and in particular on the significance of diet, exercise, the use of tobacco, the consumption of alcohol and the misuse of drugs and solvents;

(c)offering to patients consultations and, where appropriate, physical examinations for the purpose of identifying, or reducing the risk of, disease or injury;

(d)offering to patients, where appropriate, vaccination or immunisation against Measles, Mumps, Rubella, Pertussis, Poliomyelitis, Diphtheria and Tetanus;

(e)arranging for the referral of patients, as appropriate, for the provision of any other services provided under the Act;

(f)giving advice, as appropriate, to enable patients to avail themselves of social work services provided by a local authority.

(3) A doctor shall not be required under sub-paragraph (1) or (2) to provide to any person—

(a)services which involve the application of such special skill or experience of a degree or kind which general medical practitioners as a class cannot reasonably be expected to possess;

(b)the administration of an anaesthetic at an operation performed by a doctor in the course of providing maternity medical services;

(c)contraceptive services, child health surveillance services, minor surgery services nor, except in an emergency, maternity medical services, unless he has previously undertaken to provide such services to that person; or

(d)where he is a restricted services principal, any category of general medical services which he has not undertaken to provide.

(4) In the case of maternity medical services the expression “all necessary and appropriate personal medical services” includes the provision of all necessary medical services (other than services which involve the application of special skill or experience of a degree or kind which general medical practitioners as a class cannot reasonably be expected to possess) during and following pregnancy and labour in respect of all conditions arising therefrom and in particular the following services:—

(a)antenatal services, i.e. full antenatal care, supervision and examination, including full medical and obstetric examination of the patient as soon as possible after the doctor’s engagement to provide maternity medical services and such further examination as the condition of the patient requires;

(b)services during the confinement and lying-in period including—

(i)attendance at some stage of labour either before or at delivery, or at such early time thereafter as is reasonably possible in the light of clinical circumstances;

(ii)attendance within twelve hours of completion of labour or as soon thereafter as practicable and as often as the condition of the patient or her child requires throughout a lying-in period of 14 days;

(iii)attendance at any time when summoned by the midwife attending the case;

(c)post-puerperal services, i.e., medical and pelvic examination of the patient at or about six weeks after confinement.

(5) The doctor providing the maternity medical services shall, if he is not the doctor on whose list the name of the person is included—

(a)comply with any request by the doctor on whose list the name of the woman is included to examine or give other assistance to the woman and her child if and so far as the practitioner providing the services considers it necessary and appropriate that he should do so;

(b)issue, in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 13(7) to the woman or her personal representative certificates of pregnancy, expected confinement and confinement, being certificates reasonably required by her.

(6) The doctor providing the services shall also, subject always to paragraph 4(5) administer an anaesthetic or render other assistance, as required, in connection with any service or operation performed by another doctor otherwise than as part of the general medical services, if the administration of the anaesthetic or the rendering of such other assistance does not involve the application of special skill or experience of a degree or kind which general medical practitioners as a class cannot reasonably be expected to possess.

(7) Nothing in the foregoing shall affect the responsibility of the doctor on whose list the name of the woman receiving maternity medical services is included for the provision of treatment necessary for her general health.

(8) In the case of emergency, the doctor is required to render whatever services are, having regard to the circumstances, in the best interest of the patient.

(9) In determining whether a particular service involves the application of such special skill and experience as aforesaid, regard is to be had to the question whether services of the kind are or are not usually undertaken by general medical practitioners practising in the area in which the question arose.

Practice leaflet

12.—(1) Subject to sub-paragraph (2), a doctor whose name is included in the medical list shall compile in relation to his practice a document (in this paragraph called a “practice leaflet”) which shall include the information specified in Schedule 5.

(2) Sub-paragraph (1) shall, in relation to a doctor referred to in regulation 4(5)(f), apply only to the extent that the Board sees fit.

(3) A doctor shall review his practice leaflet at least once in every period of 12 months and shall make any amendments necessary to maintain its accuracy.

(4) A doctor shall make available a copy of the most recent edition of his practice leaflet to the Board, to each patient on his list and to any other person who, in the doctor’s opinion, reasonably requires one.

(5) A doctor who practises in partnership with other doctors whose names are included in the medical list shall satisfy the requirements of this paragraph if he makes available a practice leaflet, compiled and, where appropriate, revised in accordance with sub-paragraphs (1) and (3) which relates to the partnership as a whole; and in such a case a doctor may, if he so wishes, also produce a practice leaflet relating to his own activities.

Treatment of patients

13.—(1) If the condition of a patient is such that he requires treatment which is not within the scope of the doctor’s obligations under these terms of service, but such treatment is to the knowledge of the doctor available under the National Health Service, the doctor shall inform the patient of the fact and if the patient so wishes, the doctor shall take all necessary steps to enable him to receive such treatment. The doctor shall also give his patients such advice or assistance as he may consider appropriate to enable them to take advantage of other medical services available under the National Health Service.

(2) Subject to the following provisions of this paragraph, a doctor shall render the services referred to in paragraph 11 (in this paragraph called the “relevant services”) during the hours for which he is normally available pursuant to paragraph 24 (in this paragraph referred to as “normal hours”)—

(a)at his practice premises; or

(b)in the case of a patient whose condition is such that in the doctor’s reasonable opinion it would be inappropriate for the patient to attend at the practice premises, at whichever is appropriate of the places set out in sub-paragraph (5).

(3) Outside normal hours the doctor shall consider, in the light of the patient’s medical condition, whether a consultation is needed, and if so, when.

(4) If in the doctor’s reasonable opinion a consultation is needed before the next time at which the patient could be seen during normal hours, he shall render the relevant services—

(a)at his practice premises;

(b)at such other place as the Board has agreed, pursuant to paragraph 27 and he has informed the patient, pursuant to paragraph 27(5), is a place where he will treat patients outside normal hours; or

(c)in the case of a patient whose condition is such that in the doctor’s reasonable opinion it would be inappropriate for the patient to attend either at the practice premises or at such other place, at whichever is appropriate of the places set out in sub-paragraph (5).

(5) The places referred to in sub-paragraphs (2)(b) and (4)(c) are—

(a)the place where the patient was residing when he was accepted by the doctor pursuant to paragraph 6 or, as the case may be, when he was assigned to the doctor pursuant to regulation 20 or, in the case of a patient who was previously on the list of a doctor in a practice declared vacant, when the doctor succeeded to the vacancy;

(b)such other place as the doctor has informed the patient and the Board is the place where he has agreed to visit and treat the patient;

(c)some other place in the doctor’s practice area.

(6) Nothing in this paragraph prevents the doctor from—

(a)arranging for the referral of a patient pursuant to paragraph 11(2)(e) without first seeing the patient, in a case where the medical condition of the patient makes that course of action appropriate; or

(b)visiting the patient in circumstances where this paragraph does not place him under an obligation to do so.

(7) A doctor shall issue to a patient or his personal representatives free of charge any certificate of a description prescribed in the first column of Schedule 9 which is reasonably required by him under or for the purposes of the enactments specified in the second column of the said Schedule opposite and in relation to the description of the certificate in the first column. Any certificate issued under this sub-paragraph for the purposes of:

(a)the Social Security Act 1975(22); or

(b)section 17(2) of the Social Security and Housing Benefits Act 1982(23); or

(c)Part V of and Schedule 4 Part I to the Social Security Act 1986(24)

shall be issued in accordance with any regulations made under those Acts.

(8) A doctor shall not be required to issue a certificate under this paragraph where the patient is receiving treatment otherwise than from or under the supervision of a doctor.

(9) A doctor, except when providing maternity medical services, is responsible for providing the services of another doctor for the administration of an anaesthetic, when necessary, in connection with any service or operation on his patient undertaken by him under these terms of service whenever such administration does not involve the application of special skill or experience of a degree or kind which general medical practitioners as a class cannot reasonably be expected to possess.

(10) A doctor providing maternity medical services is responsible for providing the services of another doctor for the administration of an anaesthetic when necessary in connection with any operation performed by him on his patient and undertaken by him under these terms of service.

(11) The provisions of sub-paragraphs (2) and (3) shall not apply in the case of a patient who attends when an appointment system is in operation and who has not previously made, and is not given, an appointment. In such a case the doctor may decline to attend the patient during that surgery period, if the patient’s health would not thereby be jeopardised and the patient is offered an appointment to attend within a reasonable time having regard to all circumstances. The doctor shall take all reasonable steps to ensure that a consultation is not so deferred except in accordance with his instructions.

Newly registered patients

14.—(1) Subject to sub-paragraphs (4) to (9), where a patient has been accepted on the list of a doctor under paragraph 6 or assigned to such a list under regulation 20, the doctor shall, in addition and without prejudice to his other obligations in respect of that patient under these terms of service, within 30 days of the date of such acceptance or assignment, invite the patient to participate in a consultation either at his practice premises or, if the condition of the patient so warrants, at such other place as the doctor is obliged, under paragraph 13(4)(b), to render personal medical services to that patient.

(2) Where a patient (or, in the case of a patient who is a child, the appropriate person in relation to that child) agrees that he, or in the case of a child, that the child will participate in such a consultation as is mentioned in sub-paragraph (1), the doctor shall, in the course of that consultation—

(a)seek details as to the medical history of the patient and, so far as may be relevant to the patient’s medical history, as to that of his consanguineous family, in respect of—

(i)illnesses, immunisations, allergies, hereditary conditions, medication and tests carried out for breast or cervical cancer,

(ii)social factors (including employment or unemployment, housing and family circumstances) which may affect his health,

(iii)factors of his lifestyle (including diet, exercise, use of tobacco, consumption of alcohol, and misuse of drugs or solvents) which may affect his health, and

(iv)the current state of his health;

(b)offer to undertake a physical examination of the patient, comprising—

(ii)the taking of a urine sample and its analysis to identify the presence of albumin and glucose, and

(iii)the measurements necessary to detect any changes in his body mass index;

(c)record, in the records maintained in relation to the patient pursuant to paragraph 32, his findings arising out of the details supplied by or in relation to, and any examination of, the patient under this sub-paragraph;

(d)assess whether and, if so, in what manner and to what extent he should render personal medical services to the patient; and

(e)in so far as it would not, in the opinion of the doctor, be likely to cause serious damage to the physical or mental health of the patient to do so, discuss with the patient (or, where the patient is a child, the appropriate person) the conclusions the doctor has drawn as a result of the consultation as to the state of the patient’s health.

(3) In sub-paragraphs (2) and (4) and in paragraph 15(3)(e) “the appropriate person”, in relation to a child, is a person who has the right under regulation 39 to choose on behalf of the child the person by whom general medical services are to be provided for the child.

(a)make the invitation in writing or, if the invitation is initially made orally, confirm it in writing, by a letter either handed to the patient or his representative or sent to the patient or, where the patient is a child, to the appropriate person, at the address recorded in the medical records kept for the patient as being his last home address or that of the appropriate person, as the case may be;

(b)record in the patient’s medical records the date of each such invitation and whether or not it was accepted;

(c)where, as a result of making the invitation, the doctor becomes aware that the patient is no longer residing at the address shown in his medical records, advise the Board accordingly.

(5) A doctor shall not be obliged to offer a consultation pursuant to sub-paragraph (1)—

(a)if he is a restricted services principal;

(b)in respect of a child under the age of 5 years;

(c)to any patient who, immediately before joining the list of a doctor, was a patient of a partner of the doctor and who, during the year immediately preceding the date of his acceptance or assignment to his current doctor’s list, had participated in a consultation pursuant to sub-paragraph (1); or

(d)to the extent allowed by the Board, to any patient within a class of patients in respect of which the Board or, on appeal, the Secretary of State, has pursuant to sub-paragraphs (6) to (9), deferred the doctor’s obligation under sub-paragraph (1).

(6) Where a doctor assumes responsibility for a list of patients on his succession to a vacant medical practice or otherwise becomes responsible for a significant number of new patients within a short period, he may apply, in accordance with sub-paragraph (7), to the Board for the deferment of his obligation under sub-paragraph (1) for a period not exceeding 2 years from the date of the application.

(7) An application pursuant to sub-paragraph (6) shall be made in writing and shall be accompanied by a statement of the doctor’s proposals by reference to particular classes of patients, with a view to securing that all eligible patients are invited to participate in a consultation pursuant to sub-paragraph (1) by the end of the period of the deferment.

(8) Within 60 days of receiving an application the Board shall decide it—

(a)by approving the application;

(b)by approving the application subject to conditions; or

(c)by refusing the application,

and shall give written notice of its decision and, where it refuses the application or grants it subject to conditions, of its reasons for refusal or for such conditions, and of the doctor’s right of appeal under sub-paragraph (9).

(9) A doctor may appeal in writing to the Secretary of State against any refusal of an application, or against any condition subject to which an application is approved by a Board pursuant to sub-paragraph (8)(b), and on determining such an appeal the Secretary of State shall—

(a)either confirm the Board’s decision or substitute his own determination for the decision of the Board, and

(b)give to the doctor written notice of his decision and of his reasons therefor.

(10) In this paragraph and paragraph 15 “body mass index” means the figure produced by dividing the number of kilograms in the patient’s weight by the square of the number of metres in his height.

15.—(1) Subject to sub-paragraph (2), where a patient who—

(a)has attained the age of 16 years but has not attained the age of 75 years; and

(e)in so far as it would not, in the opinion of the doctor, be likely to cause serious damage to the physical or mental health of the patient to do so, discuss with the patient (or, where the patient is a child, the appropriate person) the conclusions the doctor has drawn as a result of the consultation as to the state of the patient’s health.

Patients aged 75 years and over

(a)obtain the written agreement of the deputising service that any doctor provided to him by the deputising service will be suitably experienced within the meaning of section 21 of the Act (other than by virtue of being a restricted services principal) or will have the acquired right specified in regulation 5(1)(d) of the Vocational Training for General Medical Practice (European Requirements) Regulations 1994(27); and

(b)obtain the consent of the Board.

(2) The Board shall refuse its consent if the doctor has not obtained the written agreement of the deputising service as referred to in sub-paragraph (1)(a).

(3) In giving such consent the Board shall impose the condition that the agreement referred to in sub-paragraph (1)(a) remain in force, and may impose such other conditions, including conditions in relation to the standards and the facilities provided by the deputising service, having regard to the advice of the Area Medical Committee on these standards and facilities, as it considers necessary or expedient to ensure—

(7) Where the Board decides to withdraw consent given to a doctor under this paragraph, it shall so far as is reasonably practicable, give the doctor not less than 30 days' notice of the date on which the Board’s decision is to come into effect; but the Board may dispense with such notice if it is satisfied that it is in the interests of patients to do so.

(8) A doctor may appeal to the Secretary of State against the refusal of consent or the imposition of a condition or against withdrawal of consent or variation of conditions under this paragraph by sending to him notice of appeal within 30 days from the date on which the Board notifies the doctor of its decision.

(9) In determining an appeal under this paragraph the Secretary of State may substitute for the Board’s decision such decision and conditions as he thinks fit.

20.—(1) A doctor shall not engage another doctor as a deputy, or employ one as an assistant (other than as a trainee general practitioner), unless the other doctor—

(a)is suitably experienced within the meaning of section 21 of the Act (other than by virtue of being a restricted services principal); or

(b)has the acquired right specified in regulation 5(1)(d) of the Vocational Training for General Medical Practice (European Requirements) Regulations 1994.

(3) If the Board so requests, a doctor shall furnish it with evidence that such a deputising service is continuing to comply with that agreement.

21.—(1) Nothing in paragraphs 18, 19 and 20 requires a doctor to terminate or vary any existing contract of employment or contract for services, or any existing arrangement he has with a deputising service, before he has the right to do so under the terms of the contract or arrangement.

and “availability” shall be construed accordingly.

Doctors available for only 4 days a week

25.—(1) Subject to sub-paragraph (3), where the Board is satisfied that, by reason of a doctor’s participation in health-related activities (other than the provision of general medical services to his patients) he would be likely to suffer an unreasonable degree of inconvenience if paragraph 24(2)(a)(iii) applied in his case, it may give its approval for the doctor to be available normally on only 4 days in any week referred to in sub-paragraph (2)(a) of that paragraph.

(2) For the purposes of sub-paragraph (1), “health-related activities” means activities connected with—

(a)the organisation of the medical profession or the training of its members;

by reason of the doctor’s having been relieved from the requirements of paragraph 24(2)(a)(iii).

Variation of doctors' availability to patients

26.—(1) A doctor may apply to a Board for a variation of the times and places at which, in accordance with a determination under paragraph 24 (“the earlier determination”), he is required to be available normally, and sub-paragraphs (2) to (15) of that paragraph shall apply for the making and determination (“the subsequent determination”) of an application under this paragraph as if it were the first application by that doctor for the purposes of this paragraph.

(2) Where an application made under sub-paragraph (1) is approved or is approved subject to conditions, for the purposes of sub-paragraphs (1) and (16) of paragraph 24 the earlier determination shall cease to have effect and the subsequent determination shall have effect instead—

(a)where the subsequent determination is made by a Board and no appeal is made from that determination, from the day falling 60 days after the date on which the doctor receives notification of that Board’s determination;

(b)where the subsequent determination is made on appeal, from the day falling 60 days after the date on which the doctor receives notification of the Secretary of State’s determination.

(3) Where it appears to a Board that a doctor’s hours of availability are allocated for the purposes of paragraph 24(2)(b) in a manner which may no longer be convenient to his patients, it may, subject to sub-paragraph (10), review the terms of—

(a)any approval granted under sub-paragraph (11)(a) or (b) of paragraph 24; or

(b)any direction given under sub-paragraph (9)(a),

by the Board or the Secretary of State as to such allocation.

(7) A doctor may, within 30 days of receiving notification under sub-paragraph (6), appeal in writing to the Secretary of State against a direction under sub-paragraph (5)(a).

(8) Without prejudice to the generality of sub-paragraph (1), sub-paragraphs (14) and (15) of paragraph 24 shall apply to any appeal made under sub-paragraph (7).

(9) A doctor in respect of whom a direction is given under sub-paragraph (5) shall revise the allocation of his hours of availability so as to give effect to the direction—

(a)where the direction is given by a Board and no appeal is made, not later than 60 days after the date on which he receives notification under sub-paragraph (6);

(b)where the direction is given or confirmed on appeal, not later than 60 days after the date on which he receives notification of the Secretary of State’s decision,

(3) An application under sub-paragraph (1) shall not be approved by the Board unless it is satisfied that—

(a)having regard to the fact that the premises are for the treatment of patients outside normal hours and to all other relevant circumstances, the premises to which the application relates are likely to be reasonably convenient to the doctor’s patients; and

(b)the location of those premises is in accordance with any condition imposed in relation to the doctor making the application pursuant to section 23(4)(b)(28) of the Act (distribution of general medical services).

(4) Sub-paragraphs (1) to (16) of paragraph 24 shall apply to an application under sub-paragraph (1) of this paragraph as they apply to an application under paragraph 24(1).

Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations consolidate, with amendments, those provisions of the National Health Service (General Medical and Pharmaceutical Services) (Scotland) Regulations 1974 (“the 1974 Regulations”) which relate to general medical services. The provisions of the 1974 Regulations which relate to pharmaceutical services are consolidated in the National Health Service (Pharmaceutical Services) (Scotland) Regulations 1995 (S.I. 1995/414). The 1974 Regulations and all subsequent amendments are revoked by regulation [13] and Schedule [5] to the National Health Service (Pharmaceutical Services) (Scotland) Regulations 1995. These Regulations therefore regulate the terms on which general medical services are provided under the National Health Service (Scotland) Act 1978.

The principal changes effected by these Regulations are:—

(a)to rationalise various time limits applicable under the existing Regulations; in some cases time limits have been extended to allow more time for the relevant requirements to be met; and

(b)the removal of the right of a Health Board to vary the terms of service for doctors.

These Regulations also make a number of minor or consequential drafting amendments.
