Explanatory note

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the National Health Service (Charges for Drugs and Appliances) Regulations 2000 (“the principal Regulations”).

Regulation 2 increases the charges payable under the principal Regulations from £6.20 to £6.30 for the supply of drugs and appliances, and from £12.40 to £12.60 for pairs of elastic hosiery. Regulation 3, however, makes transitional provision for the old charges to apply in respect of certain appliances ordered, and pre-payment certificates applied for, before the coming into force of the Regulations.
