  • “the 2001 Rules” means the Family Health Services Appeal Authority (Procedure) Rules 2001290;
  • “single list practitioner” means a practitioner who— by virtue of being included in a particular Health Authority’s list immediately before the relevant date, is included in the list of one relevant Primary Care Trust on the relevant date pursuant to Part 1 of this Schedule, or would, if he had, immediately before the relevant date, been included in the list of the Health Authority that was the respondent Health Authority or party in respect of an appeal or application before the FHSAA under the 2001 Rules before the relevant date, be included in the list of one relevant Primary Care Trust on the relevant date pursuant to Part 1 of this Schedule; and

Appeals to the FHSAA under Part II of the 2001 Rules

51

Where—

  • (a) the FHSAA receives a notice of appeal within the time limit specified in rule 5 of the 2001 Rules after the relevant date; and
  • (b) that notice of appeal concerns a disputed decision taken by a respondent Health Authority before the relevant date,

paragraph 52 shall apply.

52

Where—

  • (a) the FHSAA has received a notice of appeal in accordance with rule 6 of the 2001 Rules before the relevant date; and
  • (b) that appeal concerns a disputed decision taken by a respondent Health Authority before the relevant date; and
  • (c) that appeal has not been finally determined before the relevant date,

paragraph 53 shall apply.

53

Where this paragraph applies, a relevant Primary Care Trust or Trusts, determined in accordance with paragraph 54, shall, from the relevant date—

  • (a) be deemed to have made the disputed decision;
  • (b) be the respondent Primary Care Trust for the purposes of the 2001 Rules; and
  • (c) be deemed to have done any acts of the respondent Health Authority before the relevant date, in relation to the Appellant and in relation to his appeal to the FHSAA.
54

The relevant Primary Care Trust that shall be deemed to have made the disputed decision shall be—

  • (a) where the disputed decision relates to a single list practitioner, the relevant Primary Care Trust; or
  • (b) where the disputed decision relates to a multiple list practitioner, all the relevant Primary Care Trusts,

save that nothing in this Part or the 2001 Rules shall prevent a relevant Primary Care Trust from applying to the FHSAA for a direction that it is not to be deemed to be a respondent Primary Care Trust in a particular appeal because it is not appropriate or desirable in the circumstances of that appeal.

55

Nothing in paragraph 54(b) shall prevent the relevant Primary Care Trusts from nominating from amongst themselves one relevant Primary Care Trust to represent all of them in respect of the appeal, and if such a nomination is made, those relevant Primary Care Trusts shall notify the FHSAA of the name of the nominated Primary Care Trust who will be dealing with the appeal on its behalf.

56

Where, before the relevant date, a panel has given leave to a Health Authority to amend any reply or supplementary statement pursuant to rule 13(2) of the 2001 Rules and that amendment has not been effected before the relevant date, the relevant Primary Care Trust or Trusts shall, from the relevant date, be deemed to have been given leave to make the specified amendments on such terms as the panel imposed when it gave leave to the Health Authority.

57

Where, before the relevant date, the FHSAA has made any directions pursuant to rule 8 or rule 13(3) of the 2001 Rules, those directions shall, if they applied to the Health Authority and remain effective immediately before the relevant date, apply to the relevant Primary Care Trust or Trusts from the relevant date.

58

Where a Strategic Health Authority holds any information that would assist a relevant Primary Care Trust in fulfilling its role as a respondent Primary Care Trust in relation to any appeal falling within paragraph 51 or 52, the Strategic Health Authority shall provide that relevant Primary Care Trust with that information as soon as is reasonably practicable.
