Paragraph 12

Changes not yet applied. Later legislation changes this provision in ways not yet written into the text below:

(1)

Subject to sub-paragraph (2), a doctor who is authorised or required by an FHSA under regulation 20 to provide drugs or appliances to a patient shall not provide for a patient any Scheduled drug, except that, where he has ordered a drug which has an appropriate non- proprietary name either by the name or by its formula, he may provide a drug which has the same specification notwithstanding that it is a Scheduled drug (but, in the case of a drug which combines more than one drug, only if the combination has an appropriate non-proprietary name).

(2)

Nothing in this paragraph shall prevent a doctor providing, otherwise than under pharmaceutical services, a scheduled drug for a patient.
