# The Sight Testing (Examination and Prescription) Amendment (Scotland) Regulations 2006, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Sight Testing (Examination and Prescription) (No. 2) Regulations 1989 (“the Regulations”) which make provision as to the requirements to be met by registered medical practitioners and ophthalmic opticians (optometrists) on testing a person’s sight.
Regulation 2 amends the Regulations so that the duty, in Scotland, to issue a written statement as to whether the patient is being referred to a registered medical practitioner does not arise in a case to which paragraph 14(4) of Schedule 1 to the National Health Service (General Ophthalmic Services) Regulations 2006 applies.
