Paragraph 35 Information to be suppliedI1
England and Wales
An NHS pharmacist must give notice to the Local Health Board on whose pharmaceutical list the NHS pharmacist is included within 28 days (or if this is impracticable, as soon as practicable thereafter) of—
any occurrence requiring a change in the information recorded about them in the pharmaceutical list which they have not otherwise notified in accordance with these Regulations,
in the case of an NHS pharmacist who is an individual, any change of private address, and
in the case of an NHS pharmacist that is a body corporate, any change to the address of its registered office.
An NHS pharmacist must give the Local Health Board, if it so requests, the name of any pharmacist employed by them who is responsible for dispensing a particular prescription.
Subject to sub-paragraph (6), an NHS pharmacist that is a body corporate must give notice in writing to the Local Health Board within 28 days (or if this is impracticable, as soon as practicable thereafter) of any changes to the names and addresses of each of its directors and superintendent.
Subject to sub-paragraph (6), if an NHS pharmacist that is a body corporate appoints a director or superintendent that was not listed on the NHS pharmacist’s application for inclusion in a pharmaceutical list, the NHS pharmacist must give notice in writing to the Local Health Board within 28 days (or if this is impracticable, as soon as practicable thereafter) of the fitness to practice information about that person.
Subject to sub-paragraph (6), an NHS pharmacist or the director or superintendent of an NHS pharmacist that is a body corporate must inform the Local Health Board—
if the NHS pharmacist, or a body corporate of which they are a director or superintendent, applies to be included in any of another Local Health Board’s NHS performers or providers lists, and of the outcome of any such application, and
if the NHS pharmacist becomes a director or superintendent of a body corporate which is in any of another Local Health Board’s NHS performers or providers lists, or which applies to be included in such a list, and the outcome of any such application.
Where an NHS pharmacist is a body corporate with a registered office in Wales, the information to be provided under sub-paragraphs (3) to (5) may be provided only to the Local Health Board in whose area that registered office is located, if the NHS pharmacist also provides that Local Health Board with details of all the other Local Health Boards in whose pharmaceutical lists it is included, and in these circumstances that Local Health Board must pass the information on to any other Local Health Board—
in whose pharmaceutical list the NHS pharmacist is included, or
to whom the NHS pharmacist makes an application to be included in its pharmaceutical list,
that requests it.
In this paragraph, “NHS performers or providers list” means—
a pharmaceutical list, or
a list maintained of approved performers or providers of primary medical, dental or ophthalmic services.
