# The National Health Service (Injury Benefits) Regulations 1995, Regulation 18: Avoidance of duplicate benefits


If the Secretary of State is of the opinion that an injury or disease has been, or will be, taken into account for the purpose of any corresponding scheme the benefits of which or contributions towards which are payable out of public funds, she may make such deduction from the benefits under these Regulations as may appear to her to be equitable in order to secure that there may not be payable in respect of the same injury or disease benefits under these Regulations as well as benefits under a corresponding scheme.
