Don't confuse radar fail procedures with a procedural service, because it's not the same thing. Correct me if I'm wrong but you won't have an entry in your license saying 'procedural' unless you either joined before 1992(ish) or have been to a non-NATS college.
Radar fail procedures are designed to give controllers guidance in how to safely work traffic immediately after the radar has failed i.e, essential traffic info and emergency seperatation (500ft). Once a safe situation is obtained and traffic is passed to a radar unit/sector your movements will stop until the radar is back in service.
Radar fail procedures are taught at the college and included in radar validations and annual truce (training in unusual situations and emergencies), but it isn't a continuous procedural service.
