(1) Where a registered patient who—
(a) has attained the age of 75 years; and
(b) has not participated in a consultation under this paragraph within the period of twelve months prior to the date of his request,
requests a consultation, the contractor shall, in addition and without prejudice to its other obligations in respect of that patient under the contract, provide such a consultation in the course of which it shall make such inquiries and undertake such examinations as appear to it to be appropriate in all the circumstances.
