National Health Service (General Medical Services Contracts and Primary Medical Services Section 17C Agreements) (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2018 (SSI 2018/94)
The main item of business today will be scrutiny of NHS Lothian, but before that, there is an item on subordinate legislation to be dealt with. We have one instrument before us. No motion to annul the instrument has been lodged, but the Delegated Powers and Law Reform Committee agreed to draw the attention of Parliament to the instrument on the ground of a breach of the 28-day rule, which requires that instruments be laid 28 days before they come into force.
The regulations are intended to make corrections that will rectify errors in two instruments that the committee considered previously, and it is for that reason that the 28-day rule has been breached. The view of the Delegated Powers and Law Reform Committee is, therefore, that the failure to comply with the rule is acceptable in this instance. Members have no comments to make, so does the committee agree to make no recommendation on the instrument?
Members indicated agreement.
