Status

The term provision is used to describe a definable element in a piece of legislation that has legislative effect – such as a Part, Chapter or section. A version of a provision is prospective either:

  1. where the provision (Part, Chapter or section) has never come into force or;
  2. where the text of the provision is subject to change, but no date has yet been appointed by the appropriate person or body for those changes to come into force.

Commencement Orders listed in the ‘Changes to Legislation’ box as not yet applied may bring this prospective version into force.

Assessing the result of pilot schemesE+W

39 Assessing pilot schemesE+W

(1)The relevant authority may not bring section 40 into force unless satisfied that pilot schemes have shown that continuing to provide for the provision of local pharmaceutical services in accordance with provisions of the kind made by pilot schemes would be in the interests of the health service or any part of the health service (within the meaning of [F2section 206 of the National Health Service Act 2006]).

(2)In determining whether to bring section 40 into force, the relevant authority must have regard, in particular, to the results of the reviews of pilot schemes conducted under [F3section 95 of the National Health Service (Wales) Act 2006].
