Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the National Health Service (General Medical and Pharmaceutical Services) Regulations 1974 (“the 1974 Regulations”) which regulate the terms on which doctors and chemists provide general medical services and pharmaceutical services under the National Health Service Act 1977.

Regulation 2(2)(b) includes certain substances in Schedule 3A to the 1974 Regulations which contains a list of drugs and other substances which may not be prescribed for supply, and which may not be dispensed, in the course of pharmaceutical services under the National Health Service Act 1977. Certain substances presently included in the list are removed by regulation 2(2)(a) and replaced in the list by regulation 2(2)(b) in a place, and under a description, which is likely to be more convenient to practitioners.
