What to do with it
As published
94 Standard conditions
(1) NHS England must determine and publish the conditions to be included in each licence under this Chapter (referred to in this Chapter as “the standard conditions”).
(2) Different standard conditions may be determined for different descriptions of licences.
(3) For the purposes of subsection (2) a description of licences may, in particular, be framed wholly or partly by reference to—
(a) the nature of the licence holder,
(b) the services provided under the licence, or
(c) the areas in which those services are provided.
(4) But different standard conditions must not be determined for different descriptions of licences to the extent that the description is framed by reference to the nature of the licence holder unless NHS England considers that at least one of requirements 1 and 2 is met.
(5) Requirement 1 is that—
(a) the standard conditions in question relate to the governance of licence holders, and
(b) it is necessary to determine different standard conditions in order to take account of differences in the status of different licence holders.
(6) Requirement 2 is that it is necessary to determine different standard conditions for the purpose of ensuring that the burdens to which different licence holders are subject as a result of holding a licence are broadly consistent.
