Regulation 39 Informing patients of opt outs
Before any opt out takes effect, F1NHS England and the contractor must discuss how to inform the contractor's patients of the proposed opt out.
The contractor must, if requested by NHS England, inform its registered patients of an opt out and of the arrangements made for those patients to receive F2minor surgery or out of hours services by—
placing a notice in the contractor's practice waiting rooms; or
including the information in the contractor's practice leaflet.
In this regulation, “opt out” means an out of hours opt out, a permanent opt out or a temporary opt out.
