# The General Ophthalmic Services Contracts Regulations 2008, Paragraph 45: Immediate Termination by the PCT


The PCT may serve notice on the contractor terminating the contract forthwith, or with effect from such date as may be specified in the notice, if—
(a) the contractor has breached the contract and, as a result of that breach, the safety of the contractor’s patients is at risk if the contract is not terminated;
(b) the contractor’s financial situation is such that the PCT considers that the PCT is at risk of material financial loss; or
(c) the contractor has breached the contract and, in the judgment of the PCT, that breach is so significant that it is inappropriate that the contract should continue.
