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

The contractor shall not—

(a)

offer any inducement (except any discount or special offer available to patients) to use the additional services provided by the contractor and in particular no such inducement shall be offered by it, directly or indirectly, to the proprietor, manager or staff of a residential home or day centre to secure that the contractor is asked or permitted to provide additional services at that home or centre; or

(b)

seek to mislead any person about the availability, quality and extent of additional services under the contract.
