Explanatory note

These Regulations amend the National Health Service (Performers Lists) Regulations 2004 (“the Principal Regulations”).

Regulation 2 amends regulation 13 to make it clear that a performer who is suspended from a list is still treated as being included in that list in relation to any application he may make for inclusion in another list.

Regulation 3 amends regulation 22 of the principal Regulations so as to permit a doctor, who is undertaking the post-registration part of the foundation programme for newly qualified doctors, to perform primary medical services without being a general medical practitioner or on a list, but only in so far as the performance of primary medical services constitutes part of that programme.
