Explanatory note

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

Regulations 3 to 11 and 13 to 14 make minor amendments to the National Health Service (General Ophthalmic Services) Regulations (“the principal Regulations”).

Regulation 12 amends regulation 13 of the principal Regulations to increase the income level applying to recipients of tax credits for the purposes of calculating whether a person’s resources shall be treated as being less than or equal to his requirements in determining eligibility for NHS sight tests.

As a result of the transfer of certain functions of the Secretary of State in relation to Wales to the National Assembly for Wales, these amendments apply to England only.
