# The National Health Service (General Dental Services) (Miscellaneous Amendments) (No. 2) Regulations 1990, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations further amend the National Health Service (General Dental Services) Regulations 1973, which regulate the terms on which general dental services are provided under the National Health Service Act 1977, so as to correct the omission, from regulation 16 and paragraphs 3, 13 and 16 of the dentists' terms of service, of provision for the treatment under general dental services of a patient on referral by another dentist who has been providing occasional treatment or who has been treating the patient otherwise than under general dental services.
These Regulations also further amend the National Health Service (Service Committees and Tribunal) Regulations 1974 (“the 1974 Regulations”) to include in regulation 2(1) a definition of “estimate”, and to re-instate in regulation 21(5)(b) two references to an “estimate” which were removed in error by an amendment made by the National Health Service (General Dental Services) (Miscellaneous Amendments) Regulations 1990 (“the 1990 Regulations”). These Regulations also amend the transitional provision in regulation 17(5) of the 1990 Regulations as it relates to the application of the 1974 Regulations to dental treatment begun before 1st October 1990.
