After the regulation 21A inserted by regulation 10, insert the following new regulation—
“Dispensing doctor lists
21B (1) Subject to paragraph (2), a Health Authority shall prepare and publish a list, to be called the dispensing doctor list, of the names of those doctors authorised or required by the Health Authority under regulation 20 to provide pharmaceutical services to their patients and who are actually doing so (below referred to as “dispensing doctors”).
(2) The dispensing doctor list shall be divided into two parts as follows—
(a) Part 1 shall contain the names of those dispensing doctors whose names are included in the Health Authority’s medical list; and
(b) Part 2 shall contain the names of those dispensing doctors whose names are not included in the Health Authority’s medical list but who perform personal medical services in the Health Authority’s area.
(3) The dispensing doctor list shall indicate—
(a) in respect of any doctor whose name is included in Part 1, the address of his practice premises; and
(b) in respect of any doctor whose name is included in Part 2, the address of the place specified in the pilot scheme as the place at which the doctor will normally be available during normal hours to perform personal medical services.
(4) For the purposes of paragraph (3)—
(a) “practice premises” has the same meaning as in regulation 2(1) of the Medical Regulations; and
(b) “normal hours” means those days and times specified in a pilot scheme as the days on which and times at which a doctor will normally be available to perform personal medical services.”.
“21C (1) A Health Authority shall remove the name of a doctor from its dispensing doctor list when—
(a) the doctor has died; or
(b) the doctor is no longer providing general medical services or (as the case may be) performing personal medical services; or
(c) more than 12 months have elapsed since the doctor last provided pharmaceutical services pursuant to the authorisation or requirement to provide such services given by the Health Authority under regulation 20.”.
