11 Amendments to Schedule 4 of the PLPS Regulations

(1) Schedule 4 (terms of service of NHS pharmacists) is amended as follows. (2) In paragraph 24 (matters to be considered when issuing directions in respect of pharmacy premises core opening hours), in sub-paragraph (1), after “paragraph 26(2A)” insert “and except where paragraph 26(2ZB) applies”. (3) In paragraph 26 (determination of pharmacy premises core opening hours instigated by the NHS pharmacist)— (a) after sub-paragraph (1), insert— (1A) On or after 23rd June 2025, if P makes an application under paragraph (1)(b), P must state in the application whether P wishes the application to be determined on the basis of paragraph 24(1) or sub-paragraph (2ZB). ; (b) in sub-paragraph (2), for “sub-paragraph (1)” substitute “sub-paragraph (1)(a)”; (c) after sub-paragraph (2), insert— (2ZA) Where P makes an application under sub-paragraph (1)(b), as part of that application P must provide NHS England with such information as NHS England may reasonably request in respect of the matters that NHS England must seek to ensure pursuant to sub-paragraph (2ZB) or paragraph 24(1) (depending on the basis of the application). (2ZB) In the case of an application under sub-paragraph (1)(b) which is based on the matters that NHS England must seek to ensure pursuant to this sub-paragraph, where NHS England— (a) issues a direction under sub-paragraph (4) for setting any days or times for opening hours; or (b) determines the application under sub-paragraph (4) without issuing a direction, it must in doing so seek to ensure that the people who are accustomed to accessing pharmaceutical services at the pharmacy premises are likely to benefit from the changes because, overall, they would be more likely to access those services at those premises during the proposed core opening hours than during the existing core opening hours. ; (d) in sub-paragraph (3), after “sub-paragraph (2)” insert “or (2ZA)”.

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".

Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.

A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.
