## Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations further amend the National Health Service (General Medical Services) Regulations 1992 (“the principal Regulations”), which regulate the terms on which doctors provide general medical services under the National Health Service Act 1977.
Regulation 2(a) removes two products from, and regulation 2(b) adds five products to, Schedule 10 of the principal Regulations. The effect of a product being listed in Schedule 10 is that it may not be prescribed for supply in the course of pharmaceutical services under the National Health Service Act 1977; the effect, therefore, of a product being removed from Schedule 10 is that it may be so prescribed.
As a result of the transfer of certain functions of the Secretary of State in relation to Wales to the National Assembly for Wales, these amendments apply to England only.
