## Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Scottish Dental Practice Board Regulations 1997 (S.I.1997/174) (“the principal Regulations”).
Regulation 4 amends regulation 8 of the principal Regulations to clarify the circumstances under which the term of office of a member of the Scottish Dental Practice Board (“the Board”) can be terminated for non-attendance at Board meetings. Regulation 5(a) corrects regulation 10 of the principal Regulations to reflect that the duties of the Board are contained in the National Health Service (General Dental Services) (Scotland) Regulations 1996 and not the principal Regulations. Regulation 5(b) adds a new provision to regulation 10 of the principal Regulations so as to provide for a new function of the Board of providing such information to a Health Board or primary care NHS trust as it may require. Regulation 3 inserts definitions of “Health Board” and “primary care NHS trust” into the principal Regulations.
