art 6 Pilot scheme providers
(1) Subject to section 28M of the 1977 Act (but not subject to regulation 4 and 5 of the GDS Contracts Regulations), a Local Health Board must, if a pilot scheme provider so wishes, enter into a general dental services contract instead of a personal dental services agreement where the pilot scheme provider— (a) is entitled to enter into a personal dental services agreement with the Local Health Board under article 14; (b) is on 31 March 2006, or if earlier, on the date on which the contract is to be signed, providing services that are equivalent to mandatory services under the pilot scheme agreement; and (c) wishes to enter into a general dental services contract instead of a personal dental services agreement. (2) Where a pilot scheme provider enters into a general dental services contract under paragraph (1), it will have no entitlement to enter into a personal dental services agreement with the Local Health Board under article 14. (3) Where the contracting parties are unable to agree on a particular term of the contract, article 4(6) and (7) will apply.
