  "text": "(1) The Board shall make payments, calculated in the manner provided by the Drug Tariff or in accordance with any determination made by virtue of regulation 9(2) (subject to any deduction required to be made by regulations made under Article 98 of, and Schedule 15 to, the Order) to chemists in respect of drugs and appliances, containers, medicine measures and dispensing or other fees.\n(2) The Board shall make such payments, if any, as are provided for by the Drug Tariff or in accordance with any determination made by virtue of regulation 9(2) to chemists who provide additional professional services.\n(3) Where a chemist so requests, the Board shall 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 the Board shall take into consideration any objections made by the chemist in relation to those amounts.\n(4) Where so requested by the Local Pharmaceutical Committee or any organisation which is, in the opinion of the Department, representative of the general body of chemists, the Board shall give the Local Pharmaceutical Committee or the organisation in question similar facilities for examining such forms and particulars mentioned in sub-paragraph (3) relating to all or any of the chemists which it represents.\n(5) If the Department, after consultation with any organisation mentioned in sub-paragraph (4) and with the Pharmaceutical Committee constituted in accordance with regulation 13 and Schedule 5, is satisfied at any time that the method of payment provided for in this paragraph is such that undue delay in payment may be caused thereby, it may direct that the amounts to be payable to a chemist shall be calculated by such other method, whether by averaging the amounts payable to a chemist or otherwise, as may appear to the Department to be designed to secure that—\n(a) payment may be made within a reasonable time; and\n(b) that payments to a chemist 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, and payments calculated by any such other method shall be deemed for all purposes to be payments made in accordance with these Regulations.",
