(This note is note part of the Order)

This Order makes transitional provisions considered necessary in consequence of the coming into force of section 18(2) of the Community Care and Health (Scotland) Act 2002 so far as it inserts section 24B(3) in the National Health Service (Scotland) Act 1978.

The effect of the commencement of that provision will be that the name of any medical practitioner who assists in the provision of general medical services in a health board's area must (unless the practitioner's name is on the medical list of the health board) be included in the health board's supplementary list with effect from 31st May 2003.

This Order makes transitional provision to allow a practitioner whose name is not included in either such list but who

to continue to assist in the provision of those services until either

whichever is the earlier date.
