The Prescription Pricing Authority Regulations 1990
These Regulations revoke and replace the Prescription Pricing Authority Regulations 1978 to provide for the appointment and tenure of office of the members of the Prescription Pricing Authority (“the Pricing Authority”) which is a special health authority established under the National Health Service Act 1977 to exercise functions in relation to the examining, checking and pricing of prescriptions for the supply of pharmaceutical service under the Act. They are made as a consequence of the changed constitution of the Pricing Authority and as a consequence of the National Health Service and Community Care Act 1990.
