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

(1)

A supplier of appliances shall, 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 him; and

(b)

where the ETP service is not available through him, provide him with the names of at least two suppliers of appliances through whom the ETP service is available, if these details are known to the supplier of appliances.

(2)

Where the ETP service is available through him, the supplier of appliances shall, 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)

Sub-paragraph (2)(b)(ii) shall not apply if the number of nominated dispensing contractors would thereby exceed the maximum number permitted by the ETP service.

(4)

Regulation 72(a) to (c) shall apply to a request under this paragraph as it applies to an application to a chemist for pharmaceutical services.
