(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations make further amendments to the National Assistance (Assessment of Resources) Regulations 1992. Those regulations concern the assessment of the ability of a person to pay for accommodation arranged by local authorities under Part III of the National Assistance Act 1948. Those regulations are amended so as to disregard payments made under a trust established out of funds provided by the Secretary of State in respect of persons suffering from variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (regulation 2).
