Explanatory note

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations allow for certain health service bodies in England to make a charge for the supply of Healthy Start vitamins in circumstances where the person receiving those vitamins is not entitled to receive the vitamins free of charge under the Healthy Start Scheme and Welfare Food (Amendment) Regulations 2005.

This power to charge for Healthy Start vitamins replaces a power to charge for such vitamins contained in the Sale of Goods for Mothers and Children (Designation and Charging) Regulations 1976, which are no longer to apply to England.
