Subordinate Legislation
National Health Service (Optical Charges and Payments) (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2009 (SSI 2009/86)<br />National Health Service (General Dental Services) (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2009 (SSI 2009/96)
Item 2, our final item of business, is subordinate legislation. Before us are two negative instruments for our consideration. I am rattling on, because I know that members are interested in the ministerial statement that is to be made this afternoon.
The National Health Service (Optical Charges and Payments) (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2009 (SSI 2009/86) increase the value of vouchers that are used to contribute to the cost of the supply, replacement and repair of optical appliances. The National Health Service (General Dental Services) (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2009 (SSI 2009/96) amend the terms of service for dentists to increase from 36 to 48 months the length of time before a continuing care agreement or capitation arrangement lapses.
No comments have been received from members, and no motions to annul have been lodged. The Subordinate Legislation Committee did not draw the instruments to our attention. Is the committee agreed that it does not wish to make any recommendations in relation to the instruments?
Members indicated agreement.
