Those regulations set out, for Wales, the framework for general medical services contracts under section 42 of the National Health Service (Wales) Act 2006.\nThese Regulations make amendments to the 2023 Regulations to correct errors of a technical nature and insert new definitions.\nThe Welsh Ministers’ Code of Practice on the carrying out of Regulatory Impact Assessments was considered in relation to these Regulations. As a result, a regulatory impact assessment has been prepared as to the likely costs and benefits of complying with these Regulations.
