  "text": "(This note is not part of the Order)\nThis Order is made under article 69(3) of the Pharmacy Order 2010 (S.I.2010/231) (“the Order”). It makes transitional provision in connection with the commencement of paragraph 3 of Schedule 5 to the Order.\nThis Order applies in respect of the renewal of entries in the register established and maintained under article 19 of the Order (“the Register”) with effect from the day appointed for the coming into force of article 19 of the Order. The relevant entries are those made in Parts 1, 2 and 3 of the Register by virtue of paragraph 3(3) and (4) of Schedule 5 to the Order in relation to registered pharmacists, registered pharmacy technicians and registered pharmacies. These entries are treated as having been made on 1st January 2010 by virtue of paragraph 3(6) and (7) of Schedule 5 to the Order. This Order provides for an abridged procedure to apply, for transitional purposes, in respect of the renewal of such entries in the Register in order to ensure that they can be renewed before they would otherwise cease to be valid by virtue of provision in article 25 of the Order.\nArticle 1 provides for citation, commencement and interpretation.\nArticle 2 makes provision for the application of the Order. It provides that the Order is to apply in respect of the first renewal of certain entries made in the Register.\nArticle 3 makes provision for applications for renewal to which the Order applies to be made on line to the Registrar.\nArticle 4 gives the Registrar the discretion to waive in whole or in part any fee prescribed in rules under article 36(1) of the Order in connection with an application for renewal under this Order. Article 4 also enables the Registrar to offer to any person making an application for renewal under this Order the facility to pay any prescribed fee in connection with that application by direct debit in instalments or otherwise subject to such terms and conditions as are agreed between the Registrar and the applicant.\nArticles 5 and 7 set out the procedure under which applications for the renewal of an entry to which article 2(1) of this Order applies are to be made and considered by the Registrar.\nArticle 6 sets out the procedure under which applications for the renewal of an annotation in respect of a specialisation made to an entry in Part 1 of the Register to which article 2(1) of this Order applies are to be made and considered by the Registrar.",
