Regulation 2 amends regulation 6(2)(d) of the principal Regulations. In place of regulation 6(2)(d), regulation 2 substitutes a provision whereby a Health Authority must refuse to include a doctor in its supplementary list if it is not satisfied that the doctor is suitably experienced within the meaning of section 31 of the National Health Service Act 1977 unless he has an acquired right under regulation 5(1)(d) of the Vocational Training for General Medical Practice (European Requirements) Regulations 1994.

1977 c.49 ("the 1977 Act"); see section 128(1) as amended by the National Health Service and Community Care Act 1990 (c.19), section 26(2)(g) and (i), for the definitions of "prescribed" and "regulations". Section 43D was inserted by the Health and Social Care Act 2001 (c.15) ("the 2001 Act"), section 24. As regards Wales, the functions of the Secretary of State under section 43D of the 1977 Act are transferred to the National Assembly for Wales under article 2 of, and Schedule 1 to, the National Assembly for Wales (Transfer of Functions) Order 1999, S.I. 1999/672; section 68 of the 2001 Act provides that Schedule 1 shall be construed so as to include the amendments made by that Act to the 1977 Act, which is section 43D; these Regulations therefore extend only to England.back
