Explanatory note

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the arrangements for the coming into force of the provisions of the European Qualifications (Health and Social Care Professions) Regulations 2007 (“the 2007 Regulations”) that relate to the regulation of pharmacy technicians. These provisions will now come into force when article 21 of the Pharmacists and Pharmacy Technicians Order 2007 comes into force, which will be the date for the opening of the statutory Register of Pharmacy Technicians.

An impact assessment as to the effect of the 2007 Regulations on the costs of business is available from the Department of Health, Quarry House, Quarry Hill, Leeds, LS2 7UE, and on the Department’s website, http://www.dh.gov.uk.
