The National Health Service (Amendments Relating to Serious Shortage Protocols) Regulations 2019
These Regulations amend the National Health Service (Pharmaceutical and Local Pharmaceutical Services) Regulations 2013 (“the PLPS Regulations”). The PLPS Regulations govern the arrangements in England, under Part 7 of the National Health Service Act 2006 (“the 2006 Act”), for the provision of pharmaceutical and local pharmaceutical services. Dispensing services are provided as part of these services by retail pharmacy businesses, dispensing appliance contractors (which are only allowed to dispense appliances, not drugs) and, in some rural areas, dispensing doctors.
