Subordinate Legislation
Feed (Specified Undesirable Substances) (Scotland) Regulations 2007 (SSI 2007/492)<br />National Health Service<br />(General Medical Services Contracts) (Scotland) Amendment (No 3) Regulations 2007 (SSI 2007/501)
National Health Service<br />(Primary Medical Services Section 17C Agreements) (Scotland) Amendment (No 3) Regulations 2007 (SSI 2007/502)
Good morning, and welcome to the ninth meeting of the Health and Sport Committee in session 3. I remind all members to ensure that their mobile phones are switched off. We have received apologies from Rhoda Grant.
Item 1 is subordinate legislation. We will consider three instruments that are subject to the negative procedure. Scottish statutory instrument 2007/492 will transpose a European directive that revises the maximum permitted levels of certain compounds that are classified as undesirable substances in animal feed.
SSI 2007/501 and SSI 2007/502 will amend previous regulations on general medical services contracts and on primary medical services section 17C agreements. They will both insert references to "civil partner" into the definition of an "immediate family member" and insert a definition of "pharmacist independent prescriber".
No comments have been received from members, and no motions to annul have been lodged. Are we agreed that the committee does not wish to make any recommendations in relation to the three instruments?
Members indicated agreement.
