Changes not yet applied. Later legislation changes this provision in ways not yet written into the text below:

Where the Board considers that a payment has been made to a person owing to an error or in circumstances where it was not due it shall, except to the extent that the Secretary of State on the Board’s application directs otherwise, draw the overpayment to the attention of that person and—

(a)

where he admits the overpayment; or

(b)

where he does not admit the overpayment but, the matter having been referred under regulation 7 of the National Health Service (Service Committees and Tribunal) Regulations 1992f1 for investigation, the FHSA, or the Secretary of State on appeal, decides that there has been an overpayment,

the overpayment shall be recoverable either by deduction from that person’s remuneration or payments or in some other manner.
