Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the National Health Service (Choice of Medical Practitioner) (Scotland) Regulations 1998 (S.I. 1998/659) (“the principal Regulations”), which relate to the right of a person to choose the doctor from whom that person is to receive primary medical services.
The principal Regulations cover doctors who perform personal medical services in connection with a pilot scheme. These Regulations extend the application of the principal Regulations to cover doctors who perform personal medical services under the PMS Regulations.
Regulation 2 amends Regulation 1 of the principal Regulations by replacing the definition of a “doctor’s list” so as to extend it to include doctors performing personal medical services under a PMS agreement and by introducing new definitions for “a PMS agreement”, a “PMS provider” and “the PMS Regulations”.
Regulations 3 to 9 amend the principal Regulations to include appropriate references to personal medical services under the PMS Regulations.
Regulation 10 inserts a new regulation 9 into the principal Regulations which provides that a person who has chosen a particular doctor will, in certain circumstances, continue to be included in the list of that doctor if the doctor transfers from a pilot scheme agreement to a PMS agreement.
