The Regulation substitutes the definition of “the 2007 Regulations” for “the 2001 Regulations” as a consequence of the consolidation of the National Health Service (Charges for Drugs and Appliances) (Scotland) Regulations; deletes the definitions of “first condition for disqualification”, “second condition for disqualification” and “third condition for disqualification” and instead inserts a definition for “condition for disqualification” and inserts definitions of “the Postgraduate Medical Education and Training Board” and “post-registration programme”.\nRegulation 2(3) amends regulation 3 of the Regulations to allow a medical practitioner who is not a GP Registrar and whose name is not included in a primary medical services performers list of a Health Board to perform primary medical services but only in so far as the performance of those services constitutes part of a post-registration programme approved by the Postgraduate Medical Educational Training Board.\nRegulation 2(4) amends regulation 7(4) of the Regulations by inserting “the” before “Act”.\nRegulation 2(5)(a) amends paragraph 3(f) of Schedule 1 to the Regulations to provide that a declaration, claiming either charge exemption or remission, does not require to be made on a prescription form.\nRegulation 2(5)(b) also amends paragraph 3(f) of Schedule 1 to the Regulations as a consequence of the consolidation of the National Health Service (Charges for Drugs and Appliances) (Scotland) Regulations.",
