NATIONAL HEALTH SERVICE, ENGLAND
These Regulations amend the National Health Service (Pharmaceutical and Local Pharmaceutical Services) Regulations 2013 (“the PLPS Regulations”). The PLPS Regulations govern the arrangements in England, under Part 7 of the National Health Service Act 2006, for the provision of pharmaceutical and local pharmaceutical services. The PLPS Regulations include the National Health Service (“NHS”) terms of service of four different types of provider: retail pharmacy businesses on pharmaceutical lists held by the NHS Commissioning Board (known as “pharmacy contractors”); dispensing appliance contractors (known as “DACs”); dispensing doctors; and the retail pharmacy businesses that hold local pharmaceutical services contracts (known as “LPS contractors”). These Regulations also amend the National Health Service (Charges for Drugs and Appliances) Regulations 2015 (“the Charges Regulations”), which include the charges payable for the supply of drugs and appliances as part of the NHS in England.
