Recent Regulatory Updates

The National Health Service (General Medical Services Contracts and Personal Medical Services Agreements) (Amendment) (No. 3) Regulations 2022 introduced requirements for disclosing information about NHS earnings. These amendments were noted for “defective drafting” by the Parliamentary Committee, specifically regarding obligations to vary existing contracts versus applying to new contracts.

Contractors must continue cooperating with ongoing complaint investigations under transitional provisions, treating references to Primary Care Trusts or Strategic Health Authorities as references to the NHS Board.
