Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations, which come into force on 1st November 1994, amend the National Health Service (General Medical and Pharmaceutical Services) (Scotland) Regulations 1974 ("the principal Regulations") which regulate the terms on which doctors and chemists provide general medical services and pharmaceutical services under the National Health Service (Scotland) Act 1978.

Schedule 2A to the principal Regulations lists drugs and other substances which cannot be supplied by doctors, or prescribed for supply under pharmaceutical services. Regulation 2 deletes certain substances from, and adds other substances to, that Schedule.

Regulation 3(a) deletes a drug in Schedule 2B to the principal Regulations which lists certain drugs which may be prescribed under the NHS but only for specific clinical conditions. Regulation 3(b) adds two new preparations to that Schedule.
