These Regulations amend the National Health Service (Primary Medical Services Performers Lists) (Scotland) Regulations 2004 ("the principal Regulations") which provide for lists of general medical practitioners, performing primary medical services which Health Boards are under a duty to provide or secure the provision of, to be kept by those Health Boards.
These Regulations:-
-
(a) correct a reference in the principal Regulations to the deferral of a determination under regulation 7(3) of the principal Regulations which should refer to such a deferral under regulation 7(4) of those Regulations (regulation 2(2));
(b) clarify that references to a "medical practitioner" in regulation 10(7), and to a "practitioner" in regulation 11, of the principal Regulations are references to a "performer" and a "person" respectively (regulation 2(3)(b) and (4)(b)); and
(c) correct minor drafting errors in the principal Regulations (regulation 2(3)(a), (4)(a), (5) and (6)).
