These Regulations further amend the Medicines (Pharmacies) (Applications for Registration and Fees) Regulations 1973. They increase the fees for registration of premises at which a retail pharmacy business is or is to be carried on, the subsequent annual fees (retention fees) and the penalty (payable in circumstances specified in section 76(2) of the Medicines Act 1968) for failure to pay a retention fee.

The regulation-making powers in sections 75 and 76 of the Medicines Act 1968 are vested, by section 76(6), in "the Health Ministers", who are defined by section 1(1)(a) as amended by article 2(2) of, and Schedule 1 to, the Transfer of Functions (Wales) Order 1969, as the Secretaries of State respectively concerned with health in England, in Wales and in Scotland and the Minister of Health and Social Services for Northern Ireland; but the powers of the latter are now vested in the Department of Health and Social Services for Northern Ireland by section 40 of, and Schedule 5 to, the Northern Ireland Constitution Act 1973 (c. 36), and section 1(3) of, and paragraph 2(1)(b) of Schedule 1 to, the Northern Ireland Act 1974 (c. 28).
