# The National Health Service (Local Pharmaceutical Services etc.) Regulations 2006, Paragraph 9: Additional requirements in relation to electronic prescribing


(1) A contractor must, if requested to do so by any person—
(a) explain to him the ETP service, whether or not it is a service which is available through its pharmacy; and
(b) where the ETP service is not available through its pharmacy, provide him with contact details of at least two pharmacies in his area through which the service is available, if these details are known to the contractor.
(2) Where the ETP service is available through its pharmacy, the contractor must, if requested to do so by any person, enter in that person’s NHS Care Record—
(a) where the person does not have a nominated dispensing contractor, the dispensing contractor chosen by that person; and
(b) where the person does have a nominated dispensing contractor—
(i) a replacement dispensing contractor, or
(ii) a further dispensing contractor,
chosen by that person.
(3) Paragraph (2)(b)(ii) does not apply if the number of nominated dispensing contractors for that person would thereby exceed the maximum number permitted by the ETP service.
