Territorial extent and application
Most of the sections in the Act extend to England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. However, section 9, which relates to the provision of information from those providing primary medical services or pharmaceutical services, and the disclosure of the information, amends the NHS (Wales) Act and extends to England and Wales only and applies to Wales only. Also, subsection (1) of section 10 extends and applies to Scotland only (see commentary on territorial extent below).
	Regulation of the price of medicines and medical supplies used for the purpose of the health services in England, Scotland and Wales is reserved with regards to Scotland and Wales. The regulation of the price of medicines and medical supplies is not reserved with regards to Northern Ireland.
