(This note is not part of the Order)
Section 7(3) of the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 (c. 38) requires regulations under section 7(1) of that Act to allow drugs which are subject to control under the Act to be used for medical purposes. Section 7(3) does not however apply to any drug which is designated by order under section 7(4) as a drug to which that subsection applies.
This Order replaces the Misuse of Drugs (Designation) Order 2001 (S.I.2001/3997) (“the 2001 Order”) and designates for this purpose the drugs specified in Part 1 of Schedule 1 to this Order.
Part 2 of Schedule 1 specifies certain compounds which are excepted from paragraphs 1(e) – (g) of Part 1 and are therefore not designated by Part 1 of Schedule 1.
Schedule 2 revokes both the 2001 Order and the Orders amending the 2001 Order.
A full regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
