The National Health Service (Service Committees and Tribunal) Amendment Regulations 1998
These Regulations further amend the National Health Service (Service Committees and Tribunal) Regulations 1992 to implement the provisions contained in Schedule 1 to the National Health Service (Primary Care) Act 1997 (“the 1997 Act”). Schedule 1 of the 1997 Act applies where the Secretary of State determines that a medical practitioner should be given preferential treatment when making an application for his name to be included in an Health Authority’s medical list after ceasing to perform personal medical services. The 1997 Act provides that a Health Authority or any other person may make representations to the National Health Service Tribunal (“the Tribunal”) against preferential treatment.
