Persons eligible to enter into GOS contracts

193.Provisions around persons eligible to enter into GOS contracts are set out in section 28WB.

194.Subsections (1) and (2) allow a Primary Care Trust, subject to such conditions and exceptions as may be prescribed, to enter into a general ophthalmic services contract with any person, apart from someone who has been disqualified from doing so by virtue of regulations made under the 1977 Act. This is wider than the present position which is restricted to registered professionals. Regulations will be made to cover disqualifications.
