The Health Services (Pilot Schemes: Part VI Practitioners) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1998
These Regulations specify the circumstances in which a doctor who performs personal medical services in connection with a pilot scheme under the Health Services (Primary Care) (Northern Ireland) Order 1997 may continue to have his name included in a Health and Social Services Board’s medical list. They provide that such a doctor will be responsible for any act or omission of his which both gives rise to a breach of the pilot scheme and would, if the doctor had been providing general medical services, have constituted a breach of the terms of service contained in Schedule 2 to the General Medical Services Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1997. Such an act or omission is to be treated as if it were a breach of those terms of service.
