Instruments Subject <br />to Annulment
National Health Service (General Medical Services Contracts) (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2004 <br />(SSI 2004/215)
We move on to consideration of instruments that are subject to annulment. Members will remember that the principal regulations came to us in a not very good state. They are now being amended. No points have been identified on the regulations this time. Is that agreed?
National Health Service (Primary Medical Services Performers Lists) (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2004 <br />(SSI 2004/216)
Again, no points have been identified on the regulations. Is that agreed?
National Health Service (Primary Medical Services Section 17C Agreements) (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2004 (SSI 2004/217)
A minor point does arise, however, on these regulations. The comment from our legal adviser concerns regulation 2(3)(b). It is suggested that we inquire why "23(5) to (7)" is substituted for a reference to "23(6) to (8)". It is not clear why paragraphs 23(8) and 23(9) of schedule 2 to the regulations are not included, as they appear to relate solely to paragraph 23(6). It is suggested that we consider asking for an explanation. Is that agreed?

No points have been identified on the instruments. Is that agreed?
