The next item on our agenda is consideration of five negative instruments. The first is the National Health Service (General Medical Services Contracts and Primary Medical Services Section 17C Agreements) (Miscellaneous Amendment) (Scotland) Regulations 2026. As part of the 2018 GP contract offer, it was agreed that pharmacotherapy and community treatment and care—CTAC—services would be provided by health board teams rather than GP practices. That arrangement was brought into law in 2022. The purpose of the instrument is to allow health boards to agree with GP practices that those practices will deliver part or some of those services if the health board is having serious difficulties in doing so and if certain criteria are met.The Delegated Powers and Law Reform Committee considered the instrument on 10 February and made no recommendations in relation to it. No motion recommending annulment has so far been lodged in relation to the instrument.As members do not have any comments, I propose that the committee does not make any recommendations in relation to the instrument. Are members content with that?Members indicated agreement.
