Explanatory note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
EXPLANATORY NOTE
These Regulations amend an error in the Personal Injuries (NHS Charges) Amendment Regulations 2009 (“the Principal Regulations”).
The Principal Regulations, amongst other things, made amendments to the Personal Injuries (NHS Charges) (Amounts) Regulations 2007 which make provision about the charges payable under the scheme for the recovery of NHS charges in cases where an injured person who receives a compensation payment in respect of injury has received National Health Service treatment or ambulance services (“NHS charges”).
Regulation 4 of the Principal Regulations is a saving provision which maintains the previous level of NHS charges for injuries occurring before 1st April 2009. The saving provision was wrongly extended to sub-paragraph (a) of paragraph 1 of Schedule 1 to the Principal Regulations which is intended to apply in relation to injuries occurring before 1st April 2009.
A full Impact Assessment has not been prepared for these Regulations as no impact on business, charities or voluntary bodies is foreseen.
