Explanatory note

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

(This note does not form part of the Regulations)

These Regulations set out the weekly sum which local authorities in Wales are to assume, in the absence of special circumstances, that residents in accommodation arranged under Part III of the National Assistance Act 1948 will need for their personal requirements.

From 9th April 2001 all such residents will be assumed to need £16.05 per week for their personal requirements.

These Regulations supersede the National Assistance (Sums for Personal Requirements) (Wales) Regulations 2000 (which provided for the sum residents were assumed to need from 10th April 2000) which are revoked.
