Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the National Health Service (General Medical and Pharmaceutical Services) (Scotland) Regulations 1974 (“the principal Regulations”) which regulate the terms on which doctors and chemists provide general medical services and pharmaceutical services under the National Health Service (Scotland) Act 1978.

Schedule 2A to the principal Regulations lists drugs and other substances which cannot be supplied by doctors, or prescribed for supply under pharmaceutical services. Regulation 2 deletes from that Schedule two substances the names of which had been mis-spelt. Regulation 3 reintroduces those two substances, with names correctly spelt, and adds others, to that Schedule.
