These Regulations amend the National Health Service (General Medical Services Supplementary Lists) (Scotland) Regulations 2003 ("the principal Regulations") which made provision for the preparation and keeping, by Health Boards, of lists of medical practitioners approved to assist in the provision of general medical services.
These Regulations make minor amendments to the principal Regulations.
Regulation 2 removes the definition of "medical practitioner" in the principal Regulations. A definition of "medical practitioner" is already contained in section 108(1) of the National Health Service (Scotland) Act 1978.
Regulation 3 removes the unnecessary reference to sub-paragraph (5) in regulation 5(3) of the principal Regulations.
Regulation 4 corrects the reference to "doctor" in regulation 6(6) of the principal Regulations to be a reference to a medical practitioner.
Regulation 5 clarifies the meaning of "date of first registration" in regulation 8(4)(a) of the principal Regulations.
Regulation 6 amends regulation 9(2)(b) of the principal Regulations to read in gender neutral terms.
Regulation 7 corrects the reference to "the medical list" in regulation 11(4) of the principal Regulations to be a reference to the supplementary list.
