a “new” patient means a person who-
255.1. is resident (whether or not temporarily) within the area of the
PCT;
255.2. has been refused inclusion in a list of patients of, or has not been
accepted as a temporary resident by a contractor whose premises are
within such an area; and
255.3. wishes to be included in the list of patients of the Contractor
whose practice premises are within that area.

produce to the PCT or to a person authorised in writing by the PCT or
allow it, or a person authorised in writing by it, to access, on request-
439.1. any information which is reasonably required by the PCT for the
purposes of or in connection with the Contract; and
439.2. any other information which is reasonably required in
connection with the PCT’s functions.
440. The Contractor shall not be required to comply with any request made
in accordance with clause 439 unless it has been made by the PCT in
accordance with directions relating to the provision of information by
contractors given to the PCT under section 17 of the Act.
Requests for information from PCT Patients’ Forums
441. Subject to clause 441, if the Contractor receives a written request
from the PCT Patients’ Forum established for the PCT to produce any
information which appears to the Forum to be necessary for the effective
carrying out of its functions, it shall comply with that request promptly
and in any event no later than the twentieth working day following the date
the request was made.
442. The Contractor shall not be required to produce information under
clause 441 which-
442.1. is confidential and relates to a living individual, unless at least
one of the conditions specified in clause 443 applies; or
442.2. is prohibited by disclosure by or under any enactment or any
ruling of a court of competent jurisdiction or is protected by the
common law, unless clause 444 applies.
