Local dispute resolution before serving remedial notices or breach notices

This section has no associated Explanatory Memorandum

69.—(1) Subject to paragraph (3), before issuing a notice under regulation 70 or 71, the NHSCB must make every reasonable effort to communicate and co-operate with an NHS chemist (C) with a view to resolving any dispute between C and the NHSCB relating to C’s compliance with C’s terms of service.

(2) Where an NHS pharmacist invites a Local Pharmaceutical Committee to participate in the attempts to resolve the dispute, the NHSCB must make every reasonable effort to communicate and co-operate with the Committee in its attempts to assist in resolving the dispute.

(3) Paragraphs (1) and (2) do not apply where the NHSCB is satisfied—

(a)the dispute relates to a matter that has already been the subject of dispute resolution between the NHSCB (or a Primary Care Trust) and C and there are no new issues of substance that justify delay in issuing a notice under regulation 70 or 71; or

(b)that it is appropriate to proceed immediately to issuing a notice under regulation 70 or 71—

(i)because listed chemist premises are not, or have not been, open during core opening hours or supplementary opening hours without good cause,

(ii)to protect the safety of any persons to whom C may provide pharmaceutical services, or

(iii)to protect the NHSCB from material financial loss.
