Subordinate Legislation

National Health Service (General Medical Services and Primary Medical Services Section 17C Agreements) (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2021 (SSI 2021/302)

Agenda item 5 is consideration of a negative instrument. The purpose of these amendment regulations is to fulfil a commitment to general practitioners to remove the general requirement to provide certain vaccinations from their general medical services contracts and primary medical services agreements with health boards and to ensure that GPs’ contracts will only require them to provide vaccinations in exceptional circumstances.

The Delegated Powers and Law Reform Committee has raised no issues with us on the regulations and no motions to annul have been lodged. If members have no comments or points to make, I propose that the committee make no recommendation in relation to them. Are we agreed?

Members indicated agreement.

At our next meeting, on 28 September, the committee will host two round-table sessions with key stakeholders to explore session 6 priorities in relation to social care policy and health finance respectively.

That concludes the public part of the meeting.
