Explanatory note

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations further amend the Health and Personal Social Services General Dental Services Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1993 (“the principal Regulations”) which regulate the terms on which general dental services are provided under the Health and Personal Social Services (Northern Ireland) Order 1972.

Regulation 2(1) omits the definition of “the Services Committee Regulations” and inserts the definition, “the Disciplinary Procedures Regulations” into the principal Regulations.

Regulation 2(3) omits regulation 9 and 10(3) of the principal Regulations so that dentists can no longer be removed from the dental list on grounds of age.

Regulation 2(4),(5),(6),(7) and (8) substitutes “the Services Committee Regulations” and “Service Committee” with the words “the Disciplinary Procedures Regulations” and “Disciplinary Committee” respectively.
