The National Health Service (Personal Medical Services) (Scotland) Regulations 2001
These Regulations, make provisions concerning arrangements to be made in relation to personal medical services provided under Section 17C of the National Health Service (Scotland) Act 1978 (“the 1978 Act”). Pilot scheme arrangements for the provision of personal medical services are already in operation under the National Health Service (Primary Care) Act 1997. These Regulations allow these arrangements to be placed on a permanent footing. These Regulations also ensure that the arrangements for personal medical services under an agreement will be similar in scope to the provision of general medical services.
