The General Medical Services and the General Medical Services and Section 17C Agreements (Transitional and Other Ancillary Provisions Orders) (Scotland) Amendment Order 2004
This Order amends the General Medical Services (Transitional and Other Ancillary Provisions) (Scotland) Order 2004 (“the first transitional Order”) and the General Medical Services and section 17C Agreements (Transitional and Other Ancillary Provisions) (Scotland) Order 2004 (“the second transitional Order”). The first transitional Order set out transitional and ancillary provision for arrangements to cover the replacement of arrangements for general medical services under section 19 of the National Health Service (Scotland) Act 1978 with general medical services contracts under section 17J of that Act. The second transitional Order supplemented the first transitional Order and also made transitional and ancillary provision for the abolition of the power to make pilot schemes for personal medical services by section 3 of the Primary Medical Services (Scotland) Act 2004.
