(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations further amend the National Health Service (Pharmaceutical Services) (Scotland) Regulations 1995 (“the principal Regulations”) which govern the arrangements to be made by Health Boards for the provision in their area of pharmaceutical services under the National Health Service (Scotland) Act 1978. They add a new provision to the terms of service for pharmacists which requires pharmacists in certain circumstances to request evidence of a patient’s entitlement to remission of or exemption from prescription charges before supplying the prescribed item.
