Where the person to whom the certificate is to be issued pursuant to paragraph (2) is a person whose liability to pay the relevant NHS charges has been determined or re-determined under regulation 5(4), the certificate shall, in addition to any amounts to be specified under that paragraph, specify the amount of relevant NHS charges that the person is liable to pay in accordance with that determination or re-determination.
