  "text": "(1) A pharmacist is required to furnish to the Board or to such other person or body as it may direct, on dates to be appointed by the Secretary of State after consultation with an organisation which is in his opinion representative of the general body of pharmacists, the prescription forms and other forms upon which the orders for drugs and appliances supplied by him were given, arranged in such manner as the Board may direct, together with a statement of accounts containing such particulars relating to the provision by him of pharmaceutical services as the Board, with the approval of the Secretary of State, may from time to time require.\n(2) A pharmacist whose name is included in the pharmaceutical list shall supply, in response to a request from the Secretary of State and within one month of the notification of the request, any information which the Secretary of State may require for the purpose of conducting any inquiry into the prices, payments, fees, allowances and remuneration specified in these Regulations.\n(3) The Board shall, if any pharmacist so requires, afford him reasonable facilities for examining all or any of the forms on which the drugs or appliances supplied by him were ordered, together with particulars of the amounts calculated to be payable in respect of such drugs and appliances and if he takes objection thereto, the Board shall take such objection into consideration.\n(4) The Board shall, if so required by any organisation which is, in the opinion of the Secretary of State, representative of the general body of pharmacists, afford the said organisation similar facilities for examining such forms and particulars relating to all or any of the pharmacists and shall take into consideration any objection made thereto by the said organisation.\n(5) Payment will be made for drugs and appliances in the Drug Tariff at the prices specified therein and for drugs or appliances not in the Drug Tariff in the manner set forth therein subject in either case to any deduction required to be made by regulations made under section 69 of the Act.\n(6) If the Secretary of State, after consultation with such organisation as is mentioned in sub-paragraph (1), is satisfied at any time that the method of payment hereinbefore provided for in this paragraph is such that undue delay in payment may be caused thereby, he may direct that the amounts to be payable to a pharmacist shall be calculated by such other method, whether by averaging the amounts payable to a pharmacist or otherwise, as appears to him designed to secure that—\n(a) payment may be made within a reasonable time; and\n(b) payments to a pharmacist shall, as nearly as may be, remain the same as if the payments had been calculated in accordance with the first mentioned method of payment,\nand payments calculated by any such other method shall be deemed for all purposes to be payments made in accordance with these Regulations.\n(7) No pharmacist shall be paid in respect of the supply of drugs or listed appliances indicated on a prescription form unless that supply takes place at a registered pharmacy included in the pharmaceutical list in respect of that pharmacist.",
