Subordinate Legislation
National Health Service (General Medical Services Contracts) (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2010 (SSI 2010/394)
National Health Service (Primary Medical Services Section 17C Agreements) (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2010 (SSI 2010/395)
Good morning. I welcome to the 35th meeting this year everyone who has managed to get here through what we will just call the weather, which is, of course, the reason why we are starting 30 minutes late. I remind everyone to switch off mobile phones and other electronic equipment. We have received apologies—because of the weather—from Helen Eadie. Michael Matheson hopes to join us later.
The first item is consideration of two negative Scottish statutory instruments that introduce changes under part 2 of the Tobacco and Primary Medical Services (Scotland) Act 2010, relating to criteria for persons eligible to be a party to a general medical services contract or primary medical services contract in Scotland. Members have a cover note from the clerk summarising the purpose of each instrument. As the Subordinate Legislation Committee has made no substantive points on either of these instruments, I do not propose to go through them one by one. If members have no comments on the instruments, are we content not to make any recommendations on them?
Members indicated agreement.
