These Regulations amend the National Health Service (Pharmaceutical Services) (Scotland) Regulations 1995 (“the principal Regulations”) which regulate the provision of pharmaceutical services under the National Health Service (Scotland) Act 1978 (“the 1978 Act”).

Regulations 2(2)(a), 3, 4, 5 and 6 make consequential amendments arising from amendments to the 1978 Act made by section 27 of the Smoking, Health and Social Care Act (Scotland) 2005 regarding the effect to be given in Scotland to decisions of bodies in England, Wales and Northern Ireland corresponding to the decisions which can be made by the NHS Tribunal in Scotland.

Regulation 2(2)(b) amends the definition of “prescription form” to provide for domiciliary oxygen ordered in England or Wales, but dispensed in Scotland.
