  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations)\nThese Regulations consolidate, with amendments, those provisions of the National Health Service (General Medical and Pharmaceutical Services) (Scotland) Regulation 1974 (“the 1974 Regulations”) which relate to pharmaceutical services. The provisions of the 1974 Regulations which relate to general medical services are consolidated in the National Health Service (General Medical Services) (Scotland) Regulations 1995 (S.I. 1995/416). The 1974 Regulations and all subsequent amendments to them are revoked by regulation 13 and Schedule 5. These Regulations now regulate the terms on which pharmaceutical services are provided under the National Health Service (Scotland) Act 1978.\nThe main amendments, apart from minor or consequential drafting amendments are:\n(a) the inclusion of powers in regulation 7 to allow Health Boards to cancel or amend contracts for the provision of domiciliary oxygen therapy services, and\n(b) provision in Schedule 3 to require that the Scottish Committee of the Council on Tribunals is notified of all National Appeal Panel hearings and that a member of the Committee may be present at any hearing.",
