The National Health Service (Pharmaceutical Services, Charges for Drugs and Appliances and Charges to Overseas Visitors) (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2009
These Regulations amend the National Health Service (Pharmaceutical Services) (Scotland) Regulations 1995 to provide that in the case of an emergency requiring the flexible provision of pharmaceutical services, (for example, pandemic influenza), arrangements are put in place to enable pharmacists to relocate temporarily, or take on additional premises, without needing to go through the normal applications process, where it is reasonable to do so, without breaching their arrangements with the Health Boards.
