# The National Health Service (General Medical Services Contracts) Regulations 2015, Paragraph 10: Patients aged 75 and over


(1) Where a registered patient who requests a consultation—
(a) has attained the age of 75 years; and
(b) has not participated in a consultation within the 12 month period prior to the date of the request,
the contractor must provide such a consultation during which it must make such inquiries and undertake such examinations as it considers appropriate in all the circumstances.
(2) A consultation under sub-paragraph (1) must take place in the home of the patient where, in the reasonable opinion of the contractor, it would be inappropriate, as a result of the patient's medical condition, for the patient to attend at the practice premises or to participate in a remote consultation.
(3) This paragraph does not affect the contractor's other obligations under the contract in respect of the patient.
