The National Health Service (Service Committees and Tribunal) Amendment Regulations 1993
These Regulations amend the National Health Service (Service Committees and Tribunal) Regulations 1992 so as to provide that, where a complaint is made about a doctor, dentist, optician or chemist providing services under Part II of the National Health Service Act 1977 that he is in breach of his terms of service, there is a right of appeal from the decision of the Family Health Services Authority dealing with the complaint, in the following cases:where the committee of the Family Health Services Authority dealing with the complaint has not held an oral hearing of the complaint,where it has been decided initially that the complaint as received does not show any grounds for thinking that there has been a possible breach of terms of service by a practitioner, andwhere the complaint is about the conduct of a doctor deputising for a patient’s own doctor, and it has been decided initially that the complaint as received shows no grounds for believing that the doctor with whom the patient is registered was himself in breach of his terms of service.
