Changes not yet applied. Later legislation changes this provision in ways not yet written into the text below:

(1)

In addition to any requirements of notification elsewhere in the Regulations, the contractor shall notify the PCT, as soon as reasonably practicable, of—

(a)

any serious incident that, in the reasonable opinion of the contractor, affects or is likely to affect the contractor’s performance of its obligations under the contract; or

(b)

any circumstances which give rise to the PCT’s right to terminate the contract under Part 7 of this Schedule.

(2)

The contractor shall, unless it is impracticable for it to do so, notify the PCT within 28 days of any occurrence requiring a change in the information about it published by the PCT in accordance with regulations made under section 115(5) (primary ophthalmic services).

(3)

The contractor shall notify the PCT when an ophthalmic practitioner who is performing or will perform services under the contract (as the case may be)—

(a)

leaves the contractor, and the date upon which he left or is to leave; or

(b)

is or is to be employed by the contractor,

and the notification shall include the name of the ophthalmic practitioner who has left, or who has been or is to be employed, together with his professional registration number and the name and address of the Primary Care Trust in whose ophthalmic performers list he is included.
