Any designation made is to be of an area in which, or premises or descriptions of premises at which, local pharmaceutical services are to be provided under a proposed or approved LPS scheme (referred to in this regulation as the “relevant scheme”), but a designation is not necessary in respect of every such scheme.
3
Any designation made must—
a
be made in writing and be dated;
b
include a map showing the location of the area, premises or description of premises designated; and
c
include an outline of the services to be provided under the relevant scheme.

F1NHS England must give notice of the designation to—
a
the HWB (HWB1) for the area to which the designation relates, or (as the case may be) for the area in which the premises or descriptions of premises are situated;
b
any Local Pharmaceutical Committee whose area includes the premises, descriptions of premises, or all or part of the area to which the designation relates;
c
any Local Medical Committee whose area includes the premises, descriptions of premises, or all or part of the area to which the designation relates;

are in the area of HWB1, or
ii
are in the area of a neighbouring HWB and whose interests are likely, in the opinion of F1NHS England, to be affected by the designation;
e
any person who is entitled because of the grant of a routine or excepted application to be included in a pharmaceutical list—
i
for the area of HWB1, or
ii
for the area of a neighbouring HWB, if their interests are likely, in the opinion of F1NHS England, to be affected by the designation,
but who is not (yet) included;
f
any LPS chemist whose chemist premises—
i
are in the area of HWB1, or
ii
are in the area of a neighbouring HWB and whose interests are likely, in the opinion of F1NHS England, to be affected by the designation;
g
any dispensing doctor whose listed dispensing premises—
i
are in the area of HWB1, or
ii
are in the area of a neighbouring HWB and whose interests are likely, in the opinion of F1NHS England, to be affected by the designation; and
h
any Local Healthwatch organisation for the area of HWB1.
5
A designation under this regulation, and any designation by a Primary Care Trust under regulation 4 of the 2006 Regulations M2 (designation of priority neighbourhoods or premises), may be varied by F1NHS England where—
a
if it relates to an area, the LP services to be provided under the relevant scheme are to be provided in or from part only of that area;
b
if it relates to premises, the LP services to be provided under the relevant scheme are to be provided at or from part only of those premises;
c
if it relates to a description of premises, the LP services to be provided under the relevant scheme are to be provided at or from parts only of the premises described.
6
Where a designation is varied under paragraph (5), that designation must—
a
satisfy the requirements of paragraph (3) (the date of the designation becoming the date on which it is varied); and
b
be notified in accordance with paragraph (4).
7
F1NHS England must—
a
publish—
i
all its (current) designations, including designations it has varied, under this regulation, and
ii
all the (current) designations of Primary Care Trusts, including their varied designations, under regulation 4 of the 2006 Regulations; and
b
ensure that each HWB has access to those designations which is sufficient to enable the HWB to carry out its functions under these Regulations.
