Subordinate Legislation
Feed (Corn Gluten Feed and Brewers Grains) (Emergency Control) (Scotland) Revocation Regulations 2007<br />(SSI 2007/493)<br />National Health Service (Pharmaceutical Services) (Scotland) Amendment (No 3) Regulations 2007 (SSI 2007/500)
Public Health (Ships) (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2007<br />(SSI 2007/515)
Good morning and welcome to the Health and Sport Committee's 11th meeting in session 3 of the Parliament. I remind all present, including members of the public, to ensure that mobile phones are switched off. We have received no apologies.
Agenda item 1 is subordinate legislation. We have three negative instruments for consideration. Scottish statutory instrument 2007/493 transposes a European regulation that repeals a previous European Commission regulation from 2005 that introduced emergency controls on imports from the United States of America of certain maize products that contain the unauthorised genetically modified line Bt10. SSI 2007/500 amends previous regulations to provide for the introduction of pharmacist independent prescribing services into primary care services. SSI 2007/515 implements new internationally binding health regulations of the World Health Organization on the public health control of ships arriving or leaving Scottish ports.
No comments have been received from members and no motions to annul have been lodged. Are members agreed that the committee does not wish to make any recommendations on the three instruments?
Members indicated agreement.
