Paragraph 88 Notifications to patients following variation of the contract

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

Where the contract is varied in accordance with Part 8 of this Schedule and, as a result of that variation—

(a)

there is to be a change in the range of services provided to the contractor’s registered patients; or

(b)

patients who are on the contractor’s list of patients are to be removed from that list,

the Primary Care Trust shall notify those patients in writing of the variation and its effect and inform them of the steps they can take to obtain elsewhere the services in question or, as the case may be, register elsewhere for the provision of essential services (or their equivalent).
